The analytical and numerical solutions of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations under the Mathisson-Pirani supplementary condition describing highly relativistic (ultrarelativistic) motions of a spinning particle in a Schwarzschild field are investigated. The known condition S/mr<<1, which is necessary for a test particle, holds on all these solutions. The explicit expressions for the non-equatorial circular orbits, in particular for the space boundaries of the region of existence of these orbits, are obtained. The dynamics of the deviation of a spinning particle from the equatorial ultrarelativistic circular orbit with r=3M caused by the non-zero initial value of the radial particle's velocity is studied. It is shown in the concrete cases that spin can considerable influence the shape of an ultrarelativistic trajectory, as compared to the corresponding geodesic trajectory, for the short time, less than the time of one or two revolutions of a spinning particle around a Schwarzschild mass.
