[QUOTE="Gale Seddon, post: 300343, member: 53"] Flaboy, sounds like this guy is giving you a rough time. And I wonder if there might be a little history playing out here, from before you had him. Something is triggering it. No tooth problems, saddle doesn't hurt him? All of my previous horse experience is with hunters (and all a LONG time ago); however, after watching some of these mule-starting tapes that Robert bought to help him with our big donkey, it occurs to me that you may have to start from scratch with this horse...ground work from step one (no matter how tempting it might be to get on him and try cantering once again outside) working in the round pen on getting his attention, working on his transitions, stop to walk, walk to jog, back to walk...getting him to focus on you...and it may take quite a while. I think you've given him a fair chance to behave like a gentleman, but I also think if this crazy bucking behavior keeps up, it's going to be dangerous (to you) and a habit (on his part). And we sure want you in good condition for Crowder's Campaign Train!!!! How's the other one doing, the "Idiot"??? [/QUOTE]
