(and how to stop it)
//
. . .
Horses will buck for all kinds of reasons, and sometimes a well-timed buck can seem to come totally out of nowhere.
//
. . .
Maybe it starts with a little crow hop after a jump. Maybe your horse throws a buck or two after you ask him to move forward.
//
. . .
If your horse has picked up the bucking habit, it’s important to get to the root cause right away (otherwise, you might end up in the dirt).
//
. . .
If your mild-mannered and well-trained horse has started bucking out of nowhere, there’s a good chance he’s in pain somewhere and is trying to tell you
//
. . .
If a horse can’t relieve painful pressure in his mouth by tossing his head – he may put his head down and try to relieve the pressure on his back instead.
