Re: [RC] Falling off your horse / Bucking - legsmontanna

I recently bought a 5 year old 14H Arab/Saddlebred mare for a song.  Everybody at RMTC raved about her manner and trail sense.  True, she is a dream.  However, adding to my herd of three, I knew I needed to sell her eventually.  I decided to show her to a couple of friends just yesterday.  My perfect horse who has never given me one ounce of trouble decided to buck with the potential buyer.  I guess she had her own agenda!
