In the horse world, there are few things more terrifying than sitting on a runaway horse. And it's an experience that most of us have either been through ourselves or witnessed helplessly first hand. Every weekend around Australia, dozens of riders find themselves perched on a loose cannon, hanging on for dear life, praying that this ride will end safely. Unfortunately, many times it does not and the outcome is sadly often very serious for horse and human. So why do horses bolt ... why can they be calmly walking along one minute and the next become an unguided missile with seemingly not even a thought for their own safety let alone the person on their backs? How can you learn to see it coming and divert it or even better, not have it happen at all?

And to make matters even more confusing their appearance can be quite sporadic ... from very obviously in evidence one day to non existent the next.

Bucking Horses ... The Courage To Ride Forward!.....Bucking horses are a common enough occurrence but not much fun when it happens to you. It seems to be human nature to feel the need to fix the horse and when it comes to issues like bucking this is particularly true. Truth be known, if we take a closer look at horses in general, they spend the most part of their days, indeed their lives, as peaceful, social and quiet creatures, who rarely exhibit such behaviours as bucking, rearing, shying and running off unless provoked ... usually by predators! So before we go looking to fix the problem, perhaps it would be wise to take a look to see what caused it to begin with. So often in the case of horses displaying any kind of unwanted behaviour, the cause can be found by looking no further than what is on the end of the lead rope, the other end that is ... not the horse end.
