[QUOTE="circlet, post: 518992, member: 3753"] i have to agree with hayray. i am NOT suggesting this as a solution, just telling the story - my cowboy/buckaroo brother-in-law helped cure a bucker that i had by riding her, letting her buck and then spurring her into it again and again, she was finally dripping with sweat and ready for him to leave her alone after a while of it. i was just riding out her bucks and then trying to work her (circles, round pen, etc) hoping it wouldn't happen again, he took the problem too her (he's a braver rider than me! :dunce: ) again, NOT suggesting that as your answer, but it goes along with one of flaboy's solutions. an oldtimer i know, takes his "problem" horses down to the river and rides them on a sandbar, says they can't buck enough to do any damage in the deep, heavy footing, then he rides them about 4 miles back to where the trailer is. he says it teaches them they can't get rid of him and that the temper tantrum wasn't worth the effort. my only real advice is that if you can't stop this horse from bucking, put wheels under it, there's no shame in it. good luck to you and be careful.
