Don't fool yourself that Arabs don't
buck! Two of my lifetime total of 6 broken ribs came from an Arab who DID
buck. I forgave him because he hit a Yellowjackets' nest, so now I just
hope like anything to avoid nests. It helps to be first in line and never
use this horse to drag ride (especially Emma's NATRC rides.)

Any horse can buck, but some horses really like to buck.
If Cosmo was just the "any horse can buck" horse, I wouldn't be afraid to
ride, but I sure don't like those dedicated &talented
buckers!
My Paint horse was a dedicated and very
talented bucker....I'm too old for that stuff now! I guess I have to
revise my "Arabs don't buck" theory after this thread on Ridecamp and after
Carol's story. Dang it, that theory was working well for me.

BTW, Carol's story just gives me goosebumps, she is one tough human
being. I can't even imagine what that must have been like. You the WOMAN
Carol!! :)
