Sometimes just because they can.





If you%26#039;ve done all of your homework and are sure it is not physical, here%26#039;s how I can explain it.





You come home from school and your mom wants you to do some chores. You%26#039;d rather plop down and do video games and eat chips. So you scream and run around and fuss and bolt out the door. Your mom stands there speechless (not that she would, just for example purposes here)





Tomorrow she tries to get you to do something again, and you have figured out that the scene you caused keeps you from having to do it. So you repeat it.





Simply because you can. And it works. It gets you out of doing something you didn%26#039;t really want to do.





See?





Now if you want to know what to do about it, come back with another question!
Reply:I wonder if he%26#039;s being thrown off balance (by you) and he doesn%26#039;t like it? When does he buck - what are you doing when he bucks? What gaits, under what circumstances (to the left, to the right, only when he%26#039;s outside, etc?) If his center is being thrown off, then he can%26#039;t move properly and in a balanced way.





Some horses are very sensitive to being unbalanced and will try and get rid of whatever is unbalancing them. You could be unbalancing him by having too much or not enough rein contact, by sitting too much to one side or the other, by applying too much leg pressure, and of course by you simply not sitting properly in the correct area.





The book %26quot;Centered Riding%26quot; by Sally Swift is excellent and will help you out a lot with this concept.
Reply:Some ponies buck just because they have too much energy, or because they have never been trained not to buck.





Try working your pony on a lunge line for an hour before you ride and see if that doesn%26#039;t get some of the vinegar out. If not, then enlist the aid of a trainer to settle your pony down and teach it some manners.
Reply:You have taken some very good steps by asking the ver and checking your tack


how long have you had him?


have you (or your stable )change his foot, turnout time


Has some one else been riding him?


I have kept horses at places where people just stopped by the fence and hoped on board
Reply:have you had an equine physio or chiropractor check his back as they will pick up on things that a vet won%26#039;t necessarily see as the vet has to look at the whole horse and an equine chiropractor can forcus on the horses back.
