Best way to stop a bolting horse?

What is the best way to stop a bolting horse, particularly if you are out in the open, or on a trail in the woods? Has anyone had this experience?

What I learned is to turn him in a circle, but sometimes if you turn him in a circle to tight at ful gallop the horse can tip over and that wont be that fun, so sometimes it's just best to hold on and go with the ride because a horse will always stop and he also knows his way home.
