[RC] training problem (bucking) - Barb Peck

Man- sounds like you're talking about my 5 year old.
I'm a saddle fitter - and have more saddles than god- so I know my horses 
problem isn't equipment.
Plus- he's given me resistance almost everystep of the way ( he was  in a 30 
horse herd - on 80 acres till  was about 2.5) .  I bough him at 3 and it's been 
a struggle because he's so will full - and shows just about every behaviour in 
the book (not like most horses that are either one way or the other.. i.e. 
balkers aren't usually bolt and runners and visa versa).

Part of my/his problem is a confidence thing... I hate to admit he may be the 
kind of horse that always has to have a buddy becuase I ride alone alot.  (I'm 
hoping this may be a maturity thing and he'll get more confident in me - but 
that might be wishfull thinking).  
He has a fabulous dispostion- but  a hot temperment... 
my other horse is the reverse (rotten disposition - but Fab temperment) and I 
much perfer that combo..
I'd like to hear about it if you get over this problem.
Barb
