Pony bucking, rearing, leaping..Yeeha!!

Meet Twizzler, a youngster at my yard who is being prepared to be backed. This is his 2nd time wearing a saddle whilst being lunged.
I asked his owner if I could film him being schooled - got a bit more than I bargined for. apparently he's coming on in 'leaps and bounds' XD
Looks like he's got a little way to go yet!! he definitely knows how to bronc! :)

Well that will put the horse of lunging for the rest off his life.

[horseygurly]

@horseandpony100 He's fully backed now and does not buck at all. He was just a little excited. It has not 'put the horse of lunging for the rest of his life'. He is not 'scared to death'.

Guy's stop with all the comments on how this horse is 'scared' if you read the description its the 2nd time the horse has ever had a saddle on him. Prehaps when you backed your horse or whatever it didn't react to the saddle but some horses do and this is an example of it.

Stop stopping the horse and rewarding it for bucking and figure out what's happening - it does it at the same point in the ring every time, wants to go back to barn, it is not that complicated. Bend it and send it forward before you get to that part of the circle instead of stopping it.

Wow, what a pretty horse. Did you sell him?

It looks like Monty Roberts' method, but would be better if they were on a circus.

wow i guess he's not used to Saddles before but i wonder how he's doing now

[moonie014w]

Yea ive got youngsters that are dead quiet and acted like this when saddled for the first couple times

@caitlynjenna1234 A young horse being saddled for the first time without a pad does not "buck in pain" without a pad... even if the saddle fits wrong. Firstly, you don't know how tight the cinch is done up, and I can guarantee you this horse is bucking because he doesn't like the squeeze of the girth as it is "the 2nd time the horse ever had a saddle on him". If a saddle is uncomfy for a horse, it takes a good weight to make it obvious to a horse, especially if he is focusing more on the girth..

You need a round pen my friend.

@caitlynjenna1234 if a saddle fits properly u only need a saddle pad to protect the saddle from the horses sweat, not having a saddle pad would not course any pain unless the saddle doesnt fit.

[caitlynjenna1234]

why isnt there a pad on under the saddle??? he was probably bucking out of pain...

[XHighAsTheSkyX]

please let me come ride him :P haha my pony does this alot as well :) well held
