Bucking 16.2hh OTTB!

***Before you comment or rate!***
This is NOT my horse! This is NOT me riding! I do not know the horse OR the rider! This is a horse we went to look at to buy.

If she's not in pain, why did she buck, you ask? Well, it was cold and icy...she is a Thoroughbred...she is off the track...she has a small paddock...is in her stall a lot because of bad weather....and on top of all that, she hasn't been worked for 2 months! Wouldn't you buck too? I think she just needs to stretch her legs, and go for a good gallop!

No crit! It's not me riding, nor do I know the person riding. I think she handled it great!

That girl riding him did awesome! Her leg didn't move an inch and she stayed nice and calm and didn't react to the horse! very well done on her part.

@equistera I agree!!

[PasoFinoLover21]

did you buy the horse?



[MoNaZandAED]

@PasoFinoLover21 No, I didn't. I thought about it since the horse had every right to be hyper (tiny paddock, cold weather, no exercise for a long time, Thoroughbreddyness, another horse running around in it's paddock,etc.), but decided that we can't have a horse that reacts like that.

aren't you pulling a little to hard on the horse his/her mouth? my horse would do that too when i would pull so hard. She heates being pulled in her mouth

[MoNaZandAED]

@Ellen3Quinta I'm not the rider, and I don't know her either. I was recording because she was a horse I was looking at to buy. We didn't buy her, lol

[MoNaZandAED]

@DarkKingdomBlade Calm down, I'm not insulting them, lol I have an OTTB that I love to death. I wasn't making excuses for her bucking, I was saying that she is a Thoroughbred (one that has been trained to run on top of that), who's been cooped up, and wants to get energy out. It's being a horse, not being "crazy" (which I never said they are). I don't need to "watch it", we're both OTTB owners and lovers here, no one's insulting them.

i just got an ottb and i hve learned that taking the bit out of their mouth gives them something else to think about.. they were trained to run into the bit, but with a hack, its different.. mine responded quickly to it.. he did amazing with the hack then i switched to aa combination.. i did test the snaffle after that and he was hard and ran into it.. just my experience.

@equistera I never said you didnt. I was agreeing with your comment and adding my own.

[equistera]

@mastercueartist k thanks...but i never mentioned anythin about reign lenght. I said she did really good which means that everything she did was good....including rein length

[mastercueartist]

@equistera On the things you mentioned yes she did, but all the horse wanted was a little more reign, that is one of the biggest mistakes people make is when a horse starts acting up they yank on the reigns when all you have to do is give it a little slack.

@Ellen3Quinta Unless your horse is an OTTB, most horses hate being pulled on. Not saying OTTB's dont, but, you'd have to ride one to understand. I have one and I don't PULL on her, she just usually has to be on a tight rein, especially if she was acting like this. But this rider isn't pulling, she's just got her on a tight rein and using her weight leaning back:p

And this this is why i will never again own an off the track thoroughbred. LMFAO! I dont miss this at all. haha

[HorseShow5]

I know how it's like...I rode a young hyper horse that usually has tons of energy to spend in a normal day but he was in it's stall for a month after an injury, the first time after a month that I got up on him, he kicked another horse that was on the ring and bolted.That's pretty much what happens when you lock a hyper horse in a stall for a long time.
