following on from bucking on one rein thread

[jessikaGinger]

where do i start...

had my mare 18months & she's always had an issue picking her back legs up
ive asked back man & farrier if they think its pain related.. Nope just bad behaviour or bad experiences

she had a foal around a year ago and she's recently been brought back into work slowly, she's just begun canter work and has been struggling on one rein which leads to her bucking (and there not little bucks)
Today i was planning a long hack with some cantering etc

Get on her and she does a huge buck, so i stand for five stroking etc set off about 200meters down the lane buck again
so again i stood stroked her & asked her to walk on que huge bucks everytime i ask her to walk on (by this time im fuming but of course kept composed) got the whip out gave her a tap and she still kept doing it this is not like her at all she knows a tap from the whip means behave

finally managed to get her going went for a canter and she was bucking but i kept her going forward then galloped up a hill and she did one HUGE buck how i stayed on i will never know

Now im worried...
she has always had an attitude but never has she acted like this (although its done my confidence the world of good as i managed to stay on )

Where should i go from here? she had her back done a few months ago & got a new saddle so that i can rule out
should i give her a few days off & see how she is?
get the vet straight out?
Or get her insured & then vet (her insurance was void as we didnt know she was pregnant)
She isn't crippled as she trotted off when i turned her out (but didn't look 100%)
Tea and choc digestives for whoever got this far

Always suspicious of bucking - my mare bucked when I brought her back into work this time after a bad winter and shoes off - only on the one rein and it has turned out she's got navicular - wasn't apparent at first but now I know why.

Get vet, they buck for a reason does she do it in the school?

Get the vet out your horse has a problem and is saying in the only way it knows how.
i take it saddle has been checked?
if horse not insured you wont be covered as its a pre exsisting problem why was your cover void if you didnt know was preggers surely it would just have been for any prgnancy related issues??

that's my first thought she wasn't doing it out of excitement her ears were back and she wasn't happy

she was insured with NFU and they basically said as i didn't inform them she was pregnant (i did not know) she wasn't insured at all & the renewal went from £34 per month to £86 not really worth it for a horse i paid £650 for

Im not really clued up on insurance but if i got her insured now, turned her away for a month then get the vet out and there was something wrong would i be covered?
Either way i can assure you she will be seen to but i need to be realistic
