After my hair raising ride yesterday I thought long and hard about what the problem might be and decided that it was a combination of not being strict enough for the first 20 minutes and then being too strong with my hand to try and make up for it when things went pear shaped.

so today I started by making sure he always did as I asked as soon as I asked, simple things like going off the leg and coming back too me when I said without being lazy.

WAHOO he was perfect, the canter was amazing instead of tearing round with hardly any steering and being strong. he still needs help holding it all together but I was able to do this with a very light contact and leg and seat

So it seems the bucking was my fault for lousy riding
 
glad he went better for you tonight

don't think the bucking was because of your riding though?

I think it may have been, I let him get away with not being responsive, let him get on his forehand and pull me out of the saddle instead of sitting back and deep. To make up for it I used way too much hand!! I also think Will used too much hand when he bucked with him.

yeah but wouldn't too much hand cause him to rear rather than buck?

usually but you know how mine like to be different LMAO I think I left his back end sticking out so was able too ???

But you may be right may have just felt like it main thing is he didn't do it today as yesterday they were huge!!
 
he may just have been a bit fresh and having done it with Will ........
If he was ok tonight then just put it down to either freshness or trying it on with Will
