How To Keep A Horse From Bucking 

As a dressage rider, I occasionally had to "slap" leather to stay on when he got frustrated with me. I found that turning in tight circles using the direct inside rein was able to fend off bucking, and then walking on a loose rein for awhile cooled us both off. It was a hard lesson to learn, but the horse is NEVER at fault. It is ALWAYS the riders fault, so as mad as you get, you can't take it out on the horse. Quit if you are throwing a tantrum, or cool off and begin again. Always remember, he already knows how to do every move you want him to do, the problem is ALWAYS how you are able to communicate what you want him to do.

Just have patience, consistency you never stop learning.

This video is great! Thank you! I have a very well-bred cutting horse who was used as a ranch horse and now she doesn’t have a job and started to buck. I think you’re right-she needs a job!

Well done. Thank you.

Purpose giving. Golden rule.

Attitude issue is the number one problem in the so called leasure riders' world, where I come from. Potentially dangerous approach to riding, these underworked horses. Thank you b i g time. This helps me.

Great video buddy! I just subscribed. I have a mustang that as your horse does pretty well once riden. But after a while without riding, he gets bucky and hyper reactive. This video makes me regain confidence. Thank you

my horse which just turned 5 in April, has started rooting and lifting his hind legs off ground...when asking to go into a gait. I found this very informative, and will try this next time. My biggest fear was pushing too much going forward and chancing a bigger buck...I have never gotten off of him but just encouraged him to move forward, but didn't know about pulling his head to one side., thank you for this video.

That was a good video and a good example I think Ill check out your other vids

Very nice.

Simple I will answer this before watching, To the groundwork right, spend the time on the ground and they will not buck you at all. If you can create a partner on the ground they will be a partner in the saddle. Groundwork, groundwork, starting simple to advanced groundwork.

What the hell. Are you sittin' on that microphone?

If the horse is properly prepared, there will be little chance of him bucking.
