Breaking a leg

I have a question about the direction in which Booth's horse would have fallen. According to Davis at the Mudd farm, the horse had an injury on the inside of its left foreleg or shoulder. To me, that would seem that the horse would have pitched forward, not rolled to the left side trapping Booth's leg. Even if we concede that it pitched forward and then rolled, wouldn't an expert horseman like Booth be able to get his leg free before the horse rolled on it?

Here I go again, arguing over a question that I consider moot....

I have read that. That the horse rolled on Booth trapping his leg, but I also read somewhere ( and now can't remember where I read it) that the horse threw Booth against a rock. I want to say it was during an explanation of the injury to Dr. Mudd.
