| Clinton Anderson emphasizes that teaching your horse respect on the ground FIRST, will come through under saddle. As others have said, I would definitely check saddle fit, etc. But if she continues to buck under saddle, then I would go back to basic groundwork. When a horse bucks on the ground, they need their feet moved (ie, yielding hindquarters, rollbacks, etc). If the horse is fine on the ground, but then bucks under saddle and you are sure it is not related to saddle fit, etc., then I would definitely tan their hide and make them change directions and yield their hindquarters. Getting off, as someone else mentioned, is just rewarding her bad behavior. She needs consequences for her disrespect.
Just my two cents.......

Location: Great NW | I would check saddle and pads if she is only bucking with only one rider. If you are using the same saddle and he is heavier than you the weight distribution may be pinching her. This does not sound like a repremanding situation to me.

Location: Viola, IL | When I first started at a cutting ranch, we had a gelding that the lopers got a long with great. Us girls could ride him and never have a problem. But he HATED cutting, and associated that with our trainer, because he was always the one cutting on him. He would go to swing a leg over him and it never failed, he'd break in two.
But I would be inclined to wonder if it wasn't her ovaries. |

| i have a 5 year old that used to have the worst bucking problem... walking she was fine but trotting and loping.... that was a different story. We had her checked out nothing wrong with her. Broke the habit by keeping an over-n-under on my saddle. She'd go to bucking and I'd pull her head up with one hand and give her a good whop with the other. Not the sweetest form of training, but it got the job done (: also i learned to hold on with my legs really well  |

| Sorry but my curiosity just has to know how this horse is bred. There is a reason certain lines have the reputations they have and it's not just from from "bad apple" in the bunch. |
