Control: Either you have it--or you don't. Two words, "Either Or,"
are particularly appropriate when describing, owning, and handling
the great majority of horses that buck. Either they do it because
they're scared or because they're defiant. Either you're the type
of person who takes on the challenge with a gleam in your eye or
you have a bad stomach over the very idea. Either your barn friends
think you should sell the animal because they feel embarrassed for
you and your odd excuses for why you exercise it via hand walks and
turnout and never a ride on the trail -- or they're pretty sure you
don't realize the risk you take each time you hop aboard and
they're considering an equestrian intervention. And either you've
got a plan to fix it--or you do not. Make that "did not." "Did not
have a plan." Because now you do. You've got this guide and so
you've got a plan and with it a solution. This book, "Crow Hopper's
Big Guide to Buck Stopping," falls into four sections: Section I:
Learn the ground work required to begin snuffing out this
deep-rooted issue. Given that "you ride the horse you lead," you'll
begin your fix with your feet planted safely on terra firma. You'll
gain confidence--and control. Section II: Learn to see a buck
coming and what to do if it happens, then get back in the saddle
for exercise after exercise designed to put you in charge and
prevent future problems. Section III: Perform exercises geared to
address immediate and specific bucking issues: Bucking into the
canter, how to deal with your own fear, crossing obstacles, the
horse that crow hops when first introduced to the saddle. Section
IV: Training appropriate for every horse and rider--and an absolute
must for those schooling the bucking horse. (See the Table of
Contents for a complete listing.) Your horse isn't going to buck if
you have control. Your task, then, becomes gaining that control,
understanding when you have it, knowing when you don't, working to
get it. Table of Contents: Section I Ground Training - When You
