[RC] update on bucky twh.... - Lori Greene

Just wanted to let all that had responded to me and given me advice on what was going on....
 
I had the walker that had taken me on the "rear- buck" thru the trees...
 
I have limited it down to "ravine" type hills, or the up-down scenario.  We've worked in the open, been doing a lot of hands on, rubbing, just manuevering on longe line just for Me and Him time.  I went to a snaffle bit, took the kimberwick off.  And waiting still to get into vet. 
 
Everything was fine on the last ride, but had my husband on him to see what would happen.  He pulled the same scenario with my husband, brushpopping same as last time, last horse, as he was going down ditch, he takes the bit, heads down the ditch line, in a lunge buck motion.  Thankfully, this was a wider place, and my husband got him circled, and rode the wheels off of him right there.  I've also noticed, coming off the side into a stream bed, or doing a steep 3 length out, he wants to get on the hind end, do a rear like his whole attitude changes in these particular cases.
 
He's fabo out in the open, in the wood on trails everywhere else he walks up hills, baby steps down hills,  crosses water and is controllable.  It just seems now to be in these particular situations.  Anymore ideas?  Don't think this is something I can practice at home now.  Possibly anxiety, anticipation?
