Re: [RC] broke horse just started bucking - Christina Schiro

I would guess a chiropractic issue since horse is bucking during only one gait. If it was my horse, I would have the equine chiro see if the horse is out somewhere

Yes I agree. Please have the saddle fit checked by someone who is truly qualified and not by someone interested in selling you their brand of saddle.

This has been beat to death in the past but hey, what doesn't
kill ya only makes ya stronger so here goes...

1.) Had horse three months (I'm betting little riding before buying).
2.) Rode horse ALL OVER FOR THREE MONTHS with no problems
(better conditioned thus back has changed).
3.) Bucks at canter (inertia forces saddle unevenly into back).
4.) It's the saddle (only one who has extensive saddle fitting
experience can truly evaluate saddle fit).
5.) http://awarenesshorsemanship.com/asksadl.htm
