[RC] help with bucking horse-please - exxcelcoAre you getting on from a loading block. Many horses I have ridden over the years do not like the toe in the side when you get in on. I broke my thoroughbred of bucking when I got on by doing the following:
I first changed saddles and pads, then only mounted from an block where I did not have to put my foot in stirup. I to this day ride the first 5 min or so without stirups because of this horse. I swung on gently and immediatly got my reins up high so he could not get his head down. I then got off. walked around a bit and did it agin. I did this two or three times in the morning then again at noon again at dinner. It took two days until I was comfortable to ask him to move ahead. 10 years later he is still very sensitive of wrinkles in his saddle pad and where his girth is placed. About 2x's a year he will tell me things are right and I get down and fix it. But he tells me and I hear him. And that is bliss.
