Dear Keith...
Monday, June 4, 2007
Is there a way to truly break a horse from bucking? Yet again while riding my paint arabian/qh decided while in a canter that he would go into a full run and when the reins were brought up to slow/stop him he turned his head and bucked his rider off. this is not the first time he has done this. I guess he has more than one problem. Headstrong....
If he will always buck then I don't need him. Im 51 he is my first horse and I am not an experienced rider. I have never allowed him to go into a canter with me on him. His trot is too fast for me. I have taken a fall from him 2 times too many. the first from a buck an the second he bolted into a full run, i lost my balance while trying to stop him and finally fell off. I purchased a new saddle and feel more secure in it but would like to break him of it before it happens again.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Robyn |

Suggested Article: "Good Now Bad Later"
Every time you teach an exercise, your horse will go through the same learning cycle. He'll go from "Bad" to "Good" to "Worse" to "Not So Bad" to "Learned." That's the typical cycle: Bad. Good. Worse. Not so bad. Learned.
