How do I get my horse to stop bucking and rearing?

A horse can't buck when it's running...if it bucks then make it moves it's feet faster...just remember lean back. Use a tye down to prevent from rearing...the horse must lift it's weight to rear a tie down will keep it's weight down!

i would get a rope (very strong rope) and use it to tie her head down and put her in the round pen with the tack and stuff on her adn make her run and run and then when she stops buckin then try to get on and keep her head turned to you or away from you and when she starts to act up take your foot out of the sturip(if you are on the ground) and make her do tight circles on the ground and after a couple of circles try it again and when you are on her if you are sitting right you can feel if she is goin to do something and keep her head turned and make her do tight circles and when she calms down then make her go straght but it will probally take awhile to break her from doin this cause my horse was the same way

have you tried long lining her to help blow off some energy? It could help her focus and connect with you when you are safely on the ground. Watch though if it doesn't work after a few tries, Stop! It will build up her endurance and you will have a wild horse with energy to burn!

Sounds like she is acting out in pain or the fear of past pain. Take her to a vet and if she is cleared then find a good professional trainer that has references. Horses don't buck for the fun of it, something is wrong.

my 5 year old mare does the same thing. you even place a saddle on her back and she'll bolt. ive had her for a year. last year, we rode her w/ just a saddle and two lead ropes on ither side of her halter, this year.....well, lets just say she hasnt been plesant at all. she has bad hooves. undetermined by the vet as to the root of problem, but she constantly favoring one or the other and always has cracked and chipped hooves, no matter how often they are cut. dont get me wrong, she wasnt easy to ride last year, a few times i got the saddle on her and she would try to take off as soon as a little of my weight was put in the sturrup. we are selling her in july and getting a two year old that is easier to manage. if you dont have the time/patience/or just tired of getting thrown, you could always keep her as a broodmare (one of the options that we are thinking of b/c she is a reg APHA w/ a decent bloodline) or sell/trade her for a better tempered horse, ( which is what we are doing) some horses know they can get by w/ certain things due to a previous owner babying them and letting them pull there s*it. mine is a great example of that. another suggestion is that YOU just try to do the basic ground work on her, that way she knows to respond to your commands, lunge her and talk to her, make sure that she hears clearly your "walk" "trot" so on, commands. you will bond with her and she will begin to want to please you. it that doesnt work, well, the last resort...have someone else work on her...i would rather work w/ my own horses b/c i will be the one riding them, and i want them to know how i ride as well as me knowing how they will ride. i would defintely have a horse chiropractor look at her back, she may be out of line...may not take much to get her back into tip top shape. *really hope this helps a little, im starting 6 horses this summer, and i hope that i wont have the troubles your having, ive already had, and it'll be smooth sailing. i hope ive helped

if she has a bad back perhaps she shouldnt be ridden and that is why the College returned her to you in the first place, perhaps she is responding to the pain or the fear of the pain have a vet or professional trainer check her out

jesus, sell her! it takes either a LOT of effort and time, or thousands of bucks for a trainer.

well i don't think she ever will just sell her and get a new horse

well number one shes what you call Greenbroke shes had some training but not enough to call her *broke* what breed is she? some breeds are more difficult as 2 yr olds to start if there is a ineexperianced rider gettting on them. Number two please have a vet look at her if her back is bad she shouldnt be ridden what is happning it that when you put your foot in the sturrip you are pulling on the back and it could be hurting her, If you want to see if she is in pain saddle her do her ears lay back or does she squint her eyes put your hand in the sturrip and pulls down as if mounting see if you get a reaction even if you dont i would still call the vet she could have a pinced nerve or her back could be out of place. after you have had her checked out etc etc and she gets the help she needs and she can be ridden again this is what i did with the 2 yr olds i have broke and ridden After you saddle her up go into the arena with a Lunge line on her and a lunge whip *not to hit her with* got to the middle of the arena and ask her to walk give her about 10 feet of line *there about 25 feet all togather if she wont step out *step awayfrom you crack the whip behind her on the ground tell her to step out and Walk you stay in the middle and let her rotate around you follow behind her on the ground with the whip and if she needs a little incuragment tap her ont the back of her hoof after a few ask her to step up or trot and tape the whip on the ground and if you want to you can have her gallop to but do this for about 10 mins or more if shes high spirited try to switch directions even cople of mins this will this exercise will help her calm down if shes *feelin her oats* good luck with her if all else fails send her to the Parellis
