Stop Bucking Study Course
A Downloadable Book

A sample from Day 3:

"If there’s a certain place or situation that seems to “cause bucking” in your horse, then I want you - tonight - to develop a course of action and it’s simply this: First, decide what work you can do with your horse that your horse does rather well and find a safe place to do so. That might be riding serpentines in the arena as opposed to walking past the chained dog; it might simply mean riding at a trot rather than a lope or it might mean doing ground work rather than riding at all. Then, decide what dire situation usually precipitates a buck. Is it that chained dog? A specific maneuver, gait or speed? An object? Now, think of the safe situation and ask yourself what could be just one hair more dangeous? If riding in the arena is safe, what about just outside the arena but still miles from the scary spot on the trail? If “fast” freaks Dobber, what about trotting at 4-miles-per-hour trot rather than three? You get the idea. Think of the safe spot and come up with 10, 20 or even 100 “areas” between there and the danger zone."
