I am typing this one handed (broken finger) because my mare
turned into a bucking bronco last night when I got on. I just got her May
26 and this happened 2 times before. I am pretty sure that each time she
was in season. The first time I had just finished assuring my 18 year old
son that she was nor a bucker so he got on bareback, so I know it isn’t
the saddle – plus she has been nice, sweet and mild mannered every other
day. I did notice she has been especially bitchy to my gelding and he has
been moving quickly out of his way for the last few days – this is the
only way I have of knowing she is in season. She was in season the other time
it happened too. Has anyone experienced mares bucking when in
season? I had just got on her and didn’t get my feet in the stirrup
yet when she started to walk away. When I tried to stop her from walking,
she started to buck and continued till she finally bucked me off. Seems like an
attitude thing, doesn’t it? Any ideas?
