How To Fix Problem Horses That Buck & Rear - Dangerous Demonstration 

MY FULL TRAINING COURSE, HOW TO FIX BAD BEHAVIOR: online.horsetrainingvideos.com/fix-bad-behavior/

That girl is an awesome rider!!! My hat's off to her!!!

You have nothing to apologize for. Great job you and her.

It wasn't until about minute 20 that I could begin to understand why this rider was so motivated to rehab this horse ... beautiful flowing gaits ... it's hard to give up on a horse who can be so fantastic to ride!! Her persistence after falling over and over again amazes me ...

Allow me to say first, I truly appreciate your efforts and drive to "save this horse from the slaughterhouse" you obviously have a "calling". God Bless you. Second...that stout son of a gun had a calling himself. He taught himself well. He had could've gone on to be a World CLass Bareback Bronc. Granted, not as luxurious a life as you are trying to prepare him for....but he could've been hailed an all-time great. What athleticism. As a long time trainer and exercise rider of TB racehorses, I have experienced a few of these "good time Charlies". Mainly lofting themselves into the stratosphere out of sheer joy to be alive. But this guy is intending to cause damage, really. Great job...both of you. Thanks for this video. Too many racehorses are sent to slaughter because of their "Enthusiasm", not a mean of deliberate act, just youthful enthusiasm that has been mistakenly interpreted. Hopefully, the ones I can't rescue and rehome, go into the hands of someone capable who have seen this video. Note; anyone who may read this comment....Hundreds, if not thousands, of young registered Thoroughbreds, go to slaughter every single year. Not necessarily due to injury. Some just have a case of the "slows". These are perfectly wonderful animals that just need someone to retrain their brain and introduce them to a new life's work. I pick up "FREE HORSES" all over the place. I have a "LARGE' roll-a-dex of names of people who will give these kids a new start. Granted, some do have issues that may keep them from, say jumping. Ankles, knees, stifle, hip, hock, shoulder injuries that can't sustain that landing. But they are perfectly fine for the flat. (I have homed 12 that had no more ride in them, they are now spoiled pasture pals and lawn mowers). If you are in search of a horse...and you can really ride. Or you have access to a "SKILLED TRAINER"....look to the racetrack first. The MAJORITY of trainers I know would much rather GIVE A HORSE AWAY, to have a second chance at a new career, than to receive a measly $300 from the killer. All you have to do is go to the backside of a racetrack (not the pari-mutuel party side) go to the back stable gate. Flag down cars as they are leaving. (most employees must park and walk to their jobs/barns) Owners, Trainers, Asst. Trainers, Vets, Jockeys are usually the only vehicles allowed through the security gates (have to minimize the moving traffic otherwise you couldn't get your horse to the track to train) Start asking to speak to the Veterinarians. They know their clients, they also have their, proverbial...finger on the pulse of the backstretch. If you have a home for a new partner? Please think Thoroughbred first. Get a really cheap horse and transform it into your million dollar, irreplaceable partner. If you are not an advanced rider? Take the $THOUSANDS$ you save on the purchase price, and put it into TRAINING. With that kind of financial savings, your prospects are nearly limitless...I personally know of people shipping their "free horse" to World re-known training Centers. One went to a very famous Austrailian trainer. This colt shipped to his Center...She got a horse back, after four months, that was COMPLETELY PUSH BUTTON. When she was looking to buy a new Hunter/Jumper candidate to show...she had $10,000 to spend, (hard to find a potential "A" lister, ready to go, at that price range). I found her a 16.1H, chestnut colt, (suggested she have him gelded, he had no future as a Stud) 4-years-young, sound as the day is long. He never ran hard enough to hurt himself (smart horse). She put less than 1/2 of that money into his training. Now, Three years later, she's consistently cleaning up all over the mid-west circuit. I hear he has a natural propensity for Dressage...All that confidence, He want's to be a Superstar. He is just one example among hundreds. Thank for hearing me out. There's no better way to experience life than that, from the heights of the back of your partner... and "BEST MATE"

This the first time I have seen any of your videos and I agree with pretty much your whole analysis of this horse. I love the way you paused the video and pointed out what the horse was "saying". Most people totally miss those signals. We recently had a similar situation as the "dumb" handler early in this video at the farm. The owner of a "green broke" horse was the "handler" and another woman was on the horse's back. When trying to dismount the horse went into a buck. Now, the horse was not being dishonest, or mean, or bad. The owner/handler missed a LOT of signals and did not take proper precautions. There was tack failure, but not sure if the buck caused the failure or the failure caused the buck. Regardless, the rider ended up in the hospital and out of work for 6 weeks because of the handlers incompetence.

Great video. When you said: “I’d get off the horse here”, the thought just passed my mind. Even if you can stay in the horse, a horse this nutty can fall over you. That’s always my biggest concern when a horse is acting up.

I had experience with a horse like this and found out later he had bucked with everyone and eventually broke a girl’s pelvis (she knew and had been warned about him), Then threw her sister a week later and gave her a concussion, he is dog food now. No horse is worth getting yourself killed for. Horse lovers will not like this but there are mean dangerous horses just like there are people, I have had experience with both.

Mr. Trocha, thank you for being so positive and giving the rider credit for her effort, even if it's not perfect. I've always enjoyed watching your training videos. I wish we could see you work with this horse - or one like it!

Extraordinary woman! I am amazed she is in one piece and that this horse made it to 11 yrs old. Wonderful video, many thanks for uploading. I hope people take on board what you so well point out as indicators as to this horse's past and personality.

this horse is a ticking time bomb just waiting 2 happen! I've seen this happen over@over! this is a very smart animal!

this horse has learned to buck her off. You are correct Larry, if you look at his expression he is totally relaxed after she’s on the ground. But this is because he thinks he’s doing the right thing. And small little increments over the time he’s been taught to Buck. So now he’s at the point where he thinks it’s OK. He’s not being mean he’s not doing it premeditated and he’s not doing it out of fear. He just simply thinks he’s doing the right thing. So he needs to be restarted from the scratch all over again. I deal with this problem a lot. And the first thing I tell my clients is if your horse is here to solve a fucking problem, he will be here for at least 90 days to restart him. I’ll treat him like a yearling and go through each individual stop in order and he won’t go to the next step until he is solid and proficient in the current step.

Really appreciate your frame by frame in-depth analysis!!

Larry, i just saw this video and wish I had seen it before. What you said about "me on the ground is a lot worse than me on the back" is gold advice. Also the reading a fake horse is priceless. Thanks once again.

Yep, you're on the money ltrocha and kudos to the rider for her patience and resiliance!

Thank you for teaching what a counterfeit horse is. I had one and he bucked me off and I broke my back. Thank the Lord it was a mild fracture. If I had seen this video, I never would have bought him. Very educational video.

Was really interesting what you where saying about the horse having its ears and head up after he threw her off. A horse I ride occasionally bucked whilst I was cantering and then spooked to one side, I came off really hard, but the first thing I noticed after i opened my eyes was my horse walking over to me his head was really low and he started nuzzling me on the ground whilst I was lying there. He had this expression like "oh no did I do this, I'm so sorry". When I got back up on him he was being really gentle and giving. It felt like he was saying "i'm sorry I got a bit excited I will look after you now".

Thanks for this video. It helpt me a lot with my horse.

I have a lot of respect for this girl

tough girl. Thank you for walking us through your thoughts

This is a great video, common sense horse training.

Dealing with a bucker now. Older horse with some issues. Going to try a few more things. This is a clients horse that she rescued at 2. She rode him a few times and he didn't like kicked. She never taught him to move forward cuz she really hasn't rode him much. He bucked off a girl now she has been afraid to ride him. He is now 8. She just wants a trail horse so nothing specific. I have broke many horses and have a young one of my own . My good gelding is a bit cold backed so I have some experience with a horse that likes to buck. My horse does it when the saddle is too tight or you tighten it up tight right off the bat. He does a few crow hops and quits. Nothing super mean and not really trying to get you off. Her horse is unpredictable and wants you off. He wouldn't tie when he first came here. He will tie now and is fine with the saddle. I give him warning that I am tightening it. I start off pulling it tight then let loose a few times then tighten it snug. He lunges great then I tightened it a bit lunge him a bit more then I bend his head to me and get on. He has been riding ok I am not asking a lot just doing the barrel pattern and weaving some cones. I find this takes their mind off me if I give them something do. First trail ride he bucked me off about 5 minutes into the ride. Cracked a rib but got back on and rode him the hour and half loop we ride. He was perfect the rest of the ride. When I got back on I was a bit pissed and he got a smack and a few spins. Had my daughter ride him when lunging the next day and had her ride him a few days doing the same routine. Rode him yesterday and he did well. I worked him 40 minutes lunging and I have worked him up to this so nothing new. I worked him under saddle for about 15 minutes then did a lap on my track. The wind had blown over a tree. I figured this would be a good learning experience for him to learn something that happens on the trail. I got off and tied him to the fence. I broke sticks and dragged a few logs behind him and he stood perfect. I walked him over the last log i couldn't move. He was great. I bent him to me and got on. He took one step and freaked into bucking! I was holding on tight but I have only been riding with a little gag with no chin chain. I tried to pull him head up with no luck. I wasn't going to stay on so I looked for a good place and I stepped off. I was pretty proud of my emergency dismount. Landed on my feet then sat down. He stopped as soon as I got off. I grabbed the rope. I took the end of the rope and made him work around me for about 10 minutes as fast as I could get him to go. I settles him and got back on. He was perfect. We went back up to the hill but not to the barn. He was going back to work more. I worked him another 20 minutes. Got back on and went back down for our cool out lap on the track. He did good. For the life of me idk why he does this shit! I am not sure if he will ever be the horse my client wants. She is not one to work with her horses regularly and all my hard work will be for nothing when she turns him back out for the winter. I think I may be wasting my time. She does pay well but I feel like I am just taking her money. If he was mine I could probably work him through it like I did with my gelding. Thanks for the video!! Sorry for the novel.

I would have just completely restarted this horse as if he was a 3yr old, but with 3 times the ground work. That behavior is way over the line. Hats off to that girl and her determination! Wish we had more cowgirls like her!

This is great thank you!! I have a tricky breaker - not cold backed, but behaves like it at times. This has helped me think outside of the box. Thank you!

Larry you are absolutely right .IHave straightened out a few bad ones.

love you're videos / way of thinking !!!:)

Thanks a lot! It really help me with my horse!

Your so right on with your technique, I just found you on RU-vid and your training is excellent I’ll be watching all your videos and watching you.

Very good explained

Thank you so much for this video! This was extremely helpful. I have shared it with a friend!

Thank you for helping explain and point out the horse's signs, this was great to watch!! That girl definitely succeeded in her goal to outlast that horse, gave her a lot of good experience

This is a great video because it really exemplifies the possibility of a horse just having bad nature. I would say this horse hasent been abused or neglected or anything. infact I would say quite th opposite. I suspect from a very young age hes been pampered and been allowed to walk all over his owners like theres no tomorrow. Its quite clear from his facial expression, particularly after he has gotten her off that hes pleased with himself, and hes done the job he thinks he has to do. If I was in her position I would have a standing martingale on him, and spin him round in tight uncomfortable circles until hes tired out. as he starts to calm down and lower his head I would push the circle out wider through my legs. the second he tries any shit again I would make that circle half the size. Its clear from the start he dosent intend on listening to a thing this girl says. Transitions, tight circles. and a short rein, because half the problem here is that her reins are much too long. also use your jumping length stirrups, it will help to give you a better seat for when he starts acting like a spastic rodeo horse. If he was mine I would be making his life as unpleasant as hes making mine until he learns some repect. hel make a fantastic jumper

wow! I have never seen any of your videos but you are on point 100%. I am pretty new in the horse world so I like the way you stop the video and point out things. You have to understand the subtleties and it's hard to see on a moving horse, lol I know everyone has their own techniques and way of doing things but I like your style....you have a new subscriber. :)

You are spot on

a very informative video!

Spot-on commentary!

Thank you for pointing all of this out! More ppl need to understand this is a horse BEING a horse. It is up to US humans to prove to these animals that we do NOT mean them harm and that they CAN trust us. It just had to be taught the proper way by starting right and continue to work with them. warmest regards and best wishes, Michelle B.

I agree 👍 with you on abused horses I have two I adopted Amish buggy horses they were abused and I have worked with them on everything boy your right this horse is dangerous

Thanks for this brillant analysis, this girl is a stubern, she doesn't quite....

Excellent ..I've followed Larry fir a while and have some of his vids. Great stuff.

He just dumped someone and knows he can do it again. I need to get your training course. I have a two eyed jack horse has same look. She's lucky that she didn't get hurt.

WOW, I do hand it to this girl ! Guts , I fixed soured horses, and they got that way through, yea, the owners. I took ex-race horses that were just not fast enough for the track, and had to bring them down a few notches. I kept many horses from going to the killers ( so to speak ) and brought the owner and horse back together. I seen this horses body, head, ears, and he was playing a serious game with her, but she kept on getting back on. An english saddle would be hard to ride in, western, yeah much more protection, but again, this girl, she did an awesome job!! I started with bucking horses from our rodeo stock, and made a great career out of fixing horses. Great video

I needed to see this video.. Ive just had a devastating wreck and have been absolutely bashing myself on what I did wrong but from everyone's accounts it was that 'he knew exactly what he was doing' and getting me off was his response to being asked to do something he didn't want to do.. 3rd time he has done it and in exactly the same way too... unfortunately I'm too scared now to try again.

Très d’accord avec vous!

That is why I NEVER let anyone hold my horses, bc they ALWAYS get me hurt like that, where as I have NEVER let anyone get hurt.

The narrative is great - horses are all about body language and pausing the video to explain it is so useful. My mare had the same problem - not quite as radical as this horse - I didn't punish her but remained consistent, firm but kind. She has just about given up trying to evade work these days. NB the problem was my fault to a large degree - I was inexperienced (she saw me coming!) and I didn't stamp my authority from day 1 - I was too accommodating.

When a series of inept people handle a horse and basically train it to be an outlaw like this, that would be horse abuse. The same as allowing a child to run wild with no structure no rules and no consequences is child abuse. I mean heck he's 11 years old so you can bet she isn't his first handler. Your assessment is on target and that girl deserves a medal....or an analyst. God bless her.

Larry y r excellent. Thanks

Cathy walker yes your absolutely right

I'm someone who has ridden in an English Saddle, I also used to do eventing. I dealt with horses that bucked and reared in a snaffle. I was thrown on Riding school horses that used such misbehaviours to get out of work, they had the SAME look on as this horse. We call it the look of "I don't think you're in control so I'm gonna jerk you around". When handling a bucker I'd be ready to get my inside rein tight and lock into my hip even crossing the neck to lock onto the alternate hip and get it right in the joint. On a horse that rears? The moment its front legs left the ground I'd be leant forward and grabbing either rein and yanking its head round with the rein near the bit and then be reaady to sit up for bucking. The biggest problem this girl had was riding in show jumping stirrups. By which I mean I would often by riding in dressage length stirrups that were long enough to get my legs forward and braced forwards to lean fully back against a buck as I was yanking the horse round. I was taught that your legs are your safety net and that if a horse is assing around you need to be ready to throw your weight opposite to its direction of travel. We're also taught the persistance and positive reinforcement methods (aka praise the horse when its doing well, no praise when its not doing what you want and getting back on everytime they throw you), Finally I was told if the horse was a rearer push it forwards, use a riding crop if need be, better it to buck then to rear, don't let it stop keep it moving keep it listening, circle, serpentine, figure of eight, make it listen to you. (Most rearers were given a groundwork lunge line session before getting on mind to take some of the energy out). Some of those bucks did look like "I have all this energy and you're not doing anything to control me so BWEEEE LETS BUCK!"

My Godson had a horse given to him that acted like this horse, they used in High School Rodeo. The horse was always happy.

So true on everything you said. Treats and love don't fix bad horses. So very right on getting the horse to learn that you are much more work on the ground than on him, he will then like you to be on him. I bought this extremely messed up cutting horse and had to do tons of ground work in round pen he was also extremely barn sour plus so pushed in his training he was nervous wreck He was like stick of dynamite. I used similar technique on him after doing lots of ground work I start riding him to check cows and everytime I came back to barn, straight to round pen. I kind of over did it cause after awhile he would just drag his feet comin home like he was saying please don't take me to barn and make me do the round pen work again. He turned into an amazing horse that was sold to 10 yr old kid to learn to cut. He became calm as kitten and so easy to ride( his atheletic ability was awesome, won me tons of cash and awards).

Good video and kudos to the girl for being more stubborn than the horse. :-) Larry, you had me up until you said that you'd use a stronger bit on the horse so you know you had control. Honestly, I wouldn't even be getting on the horse like that, I'd be doing a lot more ground work to teach respect and work the bucking/rearing out of him for sure. I would never rely on a bit to control a horse. I'd much rather have the horse learn to control him/herself with proper training. But that is just me, I know many people don't believe in groundwork and just want to get in the saddle. I am interested enough to check out more of your videos and training techniques.

Sure wish I had your email address! You are 110 % CORRECT!! THE whole time you were talking I'd answer and you'd say it at the same time....hahaha, my sister was laughing. It's so obvious to me you know what you're talking about and are absolutly correct. THIS is a dangerous horae, dishonest as all get out, and doesn't show ANY signs of pain! A sleeper I'm affraid like you said, he's not with her.She out rode the bucks, but as you pointed out, it's simply compliance for now. Scary. I pray no one gets hurt. YES! She's a Very brave, determined lady. 😊 Thank you for showing this, as alot of important examples shown. 😊 Jennifer

In Australia we call that a dirty horse. I also note that he doesn't ever put himself in danger of getting hurt.

Best video

Uneducated people will always argue about good technique. Fantastic video mate

You always have really nice video, thanks ! I do agree with you. When I started my first colt, I got buck off three time. Before it's get any worst, because I knew I didn't have the experience to fix it, I want to a experienced trainer to fix the problem. Poeple from the stable though I was dumm, because my horse was such a sweet heart on the ground (At least I did get that part right.!) We find out later that the problem was because he had wobbler and was in pain...Anyway I was smart enough to get some professionnal help and not ending up in the emergency room. And learned a lot from that bad experience. Please be smart, may save your life !

I totally agree.

This video was perfect. Especially the part about abused horses. I've volunteered at a horse rescue before and those horses are afraid of humans just like you said. They have major trust issues. If the horse in the video was abused, he would not have let that rider approach him especially with the body language he had. I agree with everything you say. This horse is purposely trying to get the rider off of his back because he knows he can or he thinks it's some sort of game. And the man who was "lunging" that horse didn't even try to correct the horse's actions. He just stood there. The rider in the video is fantastic! I completely agree with the need of a stronger bit on this horse. You are a very good horseman! This video is great! I actually have a question about my horse, Finn. He's a six year old Quarter Horse gelding. I have no problem riding him. He listens to me, has never bucked or reared once. However, on the ground, he has no respect for me, or any of the training tools I use. I know very well what he is doing - trying to be dominant over me and he thinks I am lower in the "herd." I know that lunging is a great way to earn respect, as well as just moving his feet around. However, he doesnt have any respect for a lunge whip, lead rope, or really anything else I use to try to get him to lunge. He also nips and bites quite a lot. I catch him mostly before he reaches me, and firmly tell him "no" and give him a pop on the nose or forcefully make him back up. But the problem is, the more I tell him "no" the more I try to make biting uncomfortable for him, the more he wants to do it. I've stopped feeding him treats by hand, but that hasn't helped either. he pins his ears quite a lot too, and when he does this I move HIM around and make him listen to me. But when I do this, he just goes back to biting and pinning. I've tried a ton of things, but he just doesnt seem to want to listen to anyone or anything. The strange thing is, when I ride him, he is perfectly fine. Do you have a way to get him to listen to me, because I've just run out of ideas. He's very stubborn when it comes to these things, and I am too, but the more I try to get him to behave, the more he wants to misbehave. He lunges great when I put a plastic bag at the end of the lunge whip - listens to all of my cues, moves forward - but I feel like that won't help at all considering he's only lunging out of fear of the plastic bag. Would you recommend lunging with a plastic bag anymore? I feel like it won't help with respect, but I'm not sure. Any ideas on fixing these problems would help a lot. Thanks!

great video

Nice video! I started a few colts for clients 20 years ago. I saw some abuse before that amongst the horsemen I was around. I love gentle training, but.... this horse in the vids knows what he's doing just as Mr. Trocha says. He needs more exhaustive ground work, but also someone sticky to ride him hard once he's bucking. If not in a western saddle, at least in an Aussie saddle so the poleys will give the thighs some grip. They did start to ride him in a deeper seated dressage saddle after the first two times he threw her. Not many people could have ridden him that 3rd time he bucked in the pasture. He hit a hard lick. I have English saddles these days, but I count on my Aussie saddle sometimes.

Does Your comments shows that you are a Brave man !

I very much like the things you have pointed out, things that one should know, someone on the ground can see the stance or brace and the look on the horses face better than the rider who is actually trying to read horse from the ground, I would like to know of your extreme measures for correction. Taking a video of oneself riding could help - just a thought - thank you for the pointers. Congrats to the rider - wow!

I always rode in a long shank snaffle bit. I normally didn’t have to use it but it was sure nice to have when I did need it. I did a lot of work on sales barn horses with bad habits. I weighed about 110 pounds so I needed something stronger. They rear, they would be pulled over backwards and we’d spend a bit on the ground. It wasn’t a good place to be so they would quit that choice. I definitely would not be on an English saddle on this horse for awhile. All chose to be good eventually. I applaud this girls attempts but this horse will cooperate. Until he doesn’t. Thanks for the frame by frame takes. Maybe he will get better with time❤️

Thank you Mr. Trocha for a great analysis of problem horses. My view of horses is that they are always looking for the easiest way for things to go. It is our job, as horse men and women to teach the horse that the easiest way is the behavior we want. Do you agree with that statement?

They need western saddles in europe. Truly. The ease with which you pop out of an english vs a western saddle is huge. Also lots of times western saddles have suede seats which also helps.

Shes a great rider

I rode and fiddled with horses like this when I was young and I was a pretty fair rider. The one thing I would never do when riding a horse that would buck or rear would be to use a light English equestrian or dressage style saddle. An Australian style saddle with a decent pommel and cantle is fine and is a far cry safer but a good western stockman's saddle should always be used.

Kudos to this girl. Excelent job. Just one question - What happens if this horse has to be re-homed if the owner's financial situation changes or some other circumstances require the animal to be re-homed?

Interesting video, yet the title did not tell how to fix the problem. It did, however, let you know you could purchase the "how to fix the problem" series.

This is the English way to fix horses. We see a lot of it in South Africa. Biggest problem is that horses like this are then sold on to inexperienced riders. It is the reason, Larry, that I use your videos to train horses. A horse will not learn to behave this way if you get off as soon as it STARTS stiffening up. Then apply your advice. WHILE YOU ARE ON THE GROUND!

I had a bolter/bucker and was able to fix that problem really easily with a loose ring snaffle.. its all about timing, if you can get them right on the first buck you can shut them down pretty quick.. her reaction time is slow..

Thank you for sharing this video--it might be saving my life in the future. But I'm curious--what happened to the girl and this horse--did she learn from her mistakes and did this horse change his attitude and mindset??? How did you know about her and her horse--have you been able to help her???

This young rider has determination and guts. I probably would have taken the horse to the sale barn. Good for her.

Good video. This is how I fractured my pelvis. Backing a young horse and believing I had someone confident with the lunge rope. He starts fly bucking and she drops the bloody rope!

I think one thing I would added when riding a horse with problems is "Wear boots that will slip off!" She looks to be wear full lanced up boots. Cant say how many times I seen english rider get dragged because they couldn't slip their boots that got hooked into a striupps. Otherwise very good lesson

Having issues with my young newly under saddle mare. I"d rather haul her to a trainer nearby to help us, but don't have the funds. Had a rather scary bucking episode, first I've ever rode through from any horse (ridden many over 18 years). I lunged her quite a bit, she joined up nice and was totally calm. I'd have gotten on and tried again but of course I was home alone and baby was up sleeping in the house. This is a mare who my husband is supposed to be able to ride, I don't think she's going to fit the bill :-( I like this video and love your blunt nature. I've ridden spooky horses and don't mind stubborn horses (I'm always more stubborn lol) but this scene today took the cake.

haha, LOVE the comment at 18:00!!! That's what I say! :) This horse is obnoxious SOB that had gotten away with his behavior and learned very well how to get it done. AMAZING Rider but as the author said: you can get there faster and safer with right "equipment"

I would recommend you to check the whole original video - her results with that horse is quite impressive. Also question that you seem to say that because a horse is relaxed at point A the fact that he bucks at point B cannot be because of a previous bad experience triggered by something in situation B. Of course it can (and if that previous experience is associated with having a person on the back it make perfect sense that he looks relieved/happy once the perceived source of discomfort is removed).

Good video. I have a well trained thoroughbred horse. Recently he has developed a bad habit of trying to kick when I put my foot in the stirrup for mounting. Not strong kick but he kind of raises his rear foot in synchrony with me putting the foot in the stirrup and swishes it. Also it kind of moves his rear end away when I put the foot in the stirrup. Hope I can get some guidance. Thank you

I want to know more.are there more videos?

Old timers would hook him to a turning plow hooked to an anchor of a well broke draft. A couple of days in the turning plow, in the furrow would take the p & v out of him. I have watched this video 3 times now. I learned a lot. Thank you for sharing.

Yeah.

At about 11:00 ... the horse is very pleased with his results! With a bit of training in bucking, it could have had a nice career in rodeo stock, working 8 seconds or less an evening. And then retire to pasture with the rest of the old timers.

great video, why is it that all the people that could possibly help me with my horse live on the otherside of the world. :-(

She got the job done but at a massive risk to herself. :-O

Very smart and dangerous thinking horse. should have named her TrickStar. At least she kept trying. How did it go?

That girl is amazing👍

One more point is your description of body language if the horse was hurting, or had been abused. In recent years I have taken in some that absolutely didn't know what it was like to be treated with kindness. One was used as a target for a disabled child to practice rock throwing and general obnoxiousness and the parents allowed it. It took us more than 2 years to make her sellable. But she never bucked once when we got to the riding stage(that was after 6+ months of ground work). The difference between this one and her was that she wanted to please use and she was as honest as the day is long. A young girl now owns her and they are very happy together. This goes to my point that there are a lot of good horses out there. I never would have gone through what this girl did before sending him through the sale.

Hello, I'd like to ask. It's about a horse I care for right now. He has the "home lesson learning"(he's not mine). I haven't been out with him about a month long time. He don't have even a paddock to run in. He is biting me and I cannot lead him cause he's starting at me and rearing. I don't know if he's hurt or if he's only playing. He rear and he made me fall and he almost stepped on me so I would like to ask what to do with him. Thank you.

Hey larry my 16,17 year old meal palomino he spookes at everything bottles, brushes, whips, he takes off to the barn whenever u get on him and my mom will not let let me ride him unless she knows that he is safe......can u help me out

So what should she have done if he bucked, reared, and she turned his head to one side and he then calmed down and she DIDNT fall off? How do you stop the bucking in the first place when it comes out of no where? Small trot figure 8s? Make them work harder?

This all well and good, however!!!! when you're on a trail and one side of the trail goes straight up a steep hill and the other side of the trail goes down a hill, (both with lots of small trees close together, impossible to get a horse through) and there are branches that have fallen down from a tree blocking the trail AND you and your horse are too tall to fit under those branches, so you're horse becomes excited about not being able to get through with the other horses in front of him ( that were short enough to go under the branches) and your horse rears up (WAY UP) to where all you can see is blue sky ....you bail off and pray the horse lands back on his feet and not on top of you. That's what happened to me last weekend. Felt it was my safest and only option. Any thoughts ??? be nice

I have a question my horse Jessie loves to bite its so bad I can't get a halter on. When I do get on I kick to move forward she bucks but not a buck like in this video and she's always rears on leads or spooks

That’s a real cowgirl right there!

could you make a video on how to calm a hot horse in the alley way?

I enjoyed watching this video. I feel like mounting this horse is pointless. It needs to go back to ground work.

Mr. Trocha, my friend and I own a horse named billy. He was on his way to slaughter to but we rescued him. He is very aggressive. Bucking, rearing and charging at people and he only has a month before he is going to be put down our family said he is far to dangerous, he is only 5 but it 17.2hh. Any suggestions? we don't want to loose our buddy.

I need help with my mare she's a thoroughbred mare and she won't really even let me mount her when I do mount she responds like she should for a bit them she starts bucking or rearing she's not aggressive otherwise but she just doesn't let me ride her.What do I do?
