Bucking problem

[Bluesy]

Hello,

I have a 5 yr old mare who bucks transitioning into canter, if she thinks I am going to ask her for canter sometimes she will throw her head and put her ears back too and will hate contact from the leg. It’s started to become bucking every time she canters now. I tried changing her feed to low sugar and starch in case that was making her worse but she’s not improved , she has been seen by the vet for regrowth on the spine which she had steroid injections for , she’s had her saddle and teeth checked and a physio appointment.

she is currently being fed Thunderbrook healthy herbal muesli, Keyflow pink mash and spillers daily balancer . I don’t know if there is anything that would be better for her as she is also naturally spooky and fizzy.

Get the vet for a lameness workup. Bucking into canter is a sign she could be in pain. Especially if she already has back issues.

Following a check up from the vet get a good instructor out to watch you ride.

Sounds pain related. As she's already had some spine injections, you should really have the vet back a soon as and personally I wouldn't ride in the meantime. The horse is trying to tell you something.
