<<Isn't it funny 
how some horses hate arena work? >>
 
YES!!! 
My gelding gets too anxious or bored and starts his "bucking bronco" routine!! 
He just does a big double kick with his head still up. I've tried lots of things 
to correct this but none have worked. He never bucks on trail unless a fast 
horse gets way ahead of him (he is still green) and then he lets out a big one 
to let me know he wants to RUN RUN RUN. But I don't let him. The bucks are 
always playful and keep my riding skills incheck. I KNOW that after two days in 
the ring I HAVE to go out on trails or I'm in trouble. Guess he will never 
be a show horse.
 
By the 
way I have tried: crop on rear, working hard in circles immediately after buck, 
stopping and backing, ignoring,---you name it. Any other corrections for 
buckers???
