I had some friends that used to do that we'd be out on the trail and when we were some in sight they'd let there horses just run full gallop totally out of control.

Just teaches the horses really bad dangerous habit Oh holly I know the feeling, I had my horse at school with me he was a 3 yr. old at the time (Anglo Arab) and they had no turn out for the horses, one day a friend who also had a young horse asked if I wanted to go ride outside so having good expereinces with being outside before with my horse I said ok. Everything was great till she decided she wanted to work on cantering in this open field so I said well I am going to just trot off some steam over here while you do your thing well my guy got real excited and I could tell he was ready to go but we just walked and he was claming down until she cantered past me on her way back to the barn and that's when my horse said screw you and took off I pulled as hard as I could on my right rein and he kept barreling straight for the road so I yelled to her to stop so she tried to put her horse in front of mine and then my guy slowed down but totally bronced out and I was stirrup away from falling off when he just stopped and stood there we both regained composure and calmly walked back to the barn. Man I am really glad that he is 8 and sane now. That would probably be a deal breaker if I hadn't already fallen in love with him.
