Hey Cowboy, My critique...first you felt that hump in his back, and he was parked like a Saddlebred. You stretched him his back came down but I bet that felt like one rigid bench between your legs. When he took off toward the outside of the round pen, he definitely gave you some good jolts, but when he started going round the rail he was just crow hopping, That was the best part. When you're coming around toward the camera, I swear I can see you smiling...YES, Cowboy, you are the man...all fun and games! But when he hit the far side, man, he saved his best for last. huh??? He had his face in the dirt. You either kicked or lost your outside stirrup, All I kept thinking, what a bareback bronc. Man you would've scored high on that ride, and never touched your rig. LOVIN IT!!!!! Thanks for the vid...Great job...sticky velcro.

Well thank you, but... While I have been riding all my life (gathering cattle on y own pony at 2 years old), I am not as forked a bronc rider as I would like to be, although I don't enjoy bronc rides at all anymore. On the first couple jumps, he did this suck back thing as soon as his front feet came down, this is where I got lurched forward and lost my stirrup. He never really got after it, but without a stirrup for the whole ride, it was challenge enough. As far as not touching my rig...well, I was roped up. I learned long ago that style points for riding one-handed mean nothing when you're hours away from the hospital. I am aware of the mechanics of staying aboard though...lift with the reign hand, keep chin down, focus on the neck, focus on getting through the next jump, and if you get bucked off, get right back on.

You certainly are balanced. I truly appreciate your response. I was raised on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma. My sister and I were stationed on the horse care as children. It was a right of passage to help Willie and the crew with the cattle. At 19 I discovered the Thoroughbred racing industry first hand. I was hooked, line and sinker. "You mean you actually get paid big bucks to ride horses?" "Sign me up". I galloped horses for 32 years. The truth I discovered...When I was young and pliable, even the sky searchers were fun. If you hit terrain, you bounced, brushed off, usually laughing, and hop back on. After a couple of bone-shattering vaults...and I grew older and found the landings a lot more painful (I didn't so much bounce anymore, as much as crashed and burned) and not a lot of laughing followed. I guess that goes back to the fact...we're all indestructible as kids. As we grow older those old injuries take on a life of their own (arthritis, etc...). When I became a licensed trainer, I still galloped several of my own, but I let the big boys gallop the gorillas. You, my friend, are a true Gorilla galloper. Thanks again for the video. Stay safe, take care, and keep that velcro of yours in tip-top shape. You are a Horseman, True Story.

Thank you Elizabeth. Any skill I have is merely a result of all the miles on the many horses who taught me. I have spent my entire life ranching, starting colts for much of it. I spent the first 24 years of my life on a 325,000 acre ranch here in MT, and had probably around 10,000 miles in a saddle by the time I was 10. I have since worked for other ranches in other states, and ridden the "big circle" (50 miles one day) on many many gathers. I don't get too worked up about people's negative comments, because I actually live it, and know that there is always more to learn....and the negative KZread commenters never know much in reality because they are too busy giving their opinion to learn anything. :-) Thanks for the support, and I hope you enjoy my channel.

Balance is key. That is something that only comes with freak talent and/or LOTS of time in the saddle, and not merely walking/trail riding-type time either. I am not the best by a long shot, but in the slow motion you can see what I am doing. He drops his head and goes down in front, so I lean back. When he comes up in the front, I lean forward. I keep my eye on his maneline at all times, lift with the rein hand, and maintain a firm grip on my rope with my right hand. Losing a stirrup makes it much harder.

I just got a horse and he is only 4 and I’ve seen his bucks and they are STRONG and I have no idea what to do in the situation. I don’t want to throw myself off because I don’t want to teach him a bad habit, he has never bucked under saddle but definitely a green horse and doesn’t turn and gets frustrated and very lazy so when you push him he gets crazy and wants to buck but never does but I know that moment will come. Any advice to do for a strong bucking horse, he is VERYYYYYY stubborn.. I just don’t know if it’s age or him but I’m very scared to ride.

He was definitely a snakey son of a gun. A year later, I was trying to pack an elk out on him. Two times while securing the load, he waited until I was in a vulnerable spot on the steep terrain, and then jumped straight in the air, kicking my legs at the same time. First time caved in my right knee and tore my MCL, and after I had gathered him back up, he stood there super calm and nice while I got two elk quarters loaded, and right as I backed away from him one step, he did it again, and kicked my left shin twice and my right shin once, and then took off down the steep mountain face. I ended up making two trips on that mountain face with my old mare to pack the meat off, so it didn't spoil. Went back into the timber to find that counterfeit bugger, who acted just as broke and gentle as could be like nothing ever happened. I ended up in an ankle-to-ass brace for the next 6 weeks, and my shins still bear the scars of the gashes from the horseshoes. The most physically painful experience of my life, but I got all the elk meat out before it spoiled, and a heck of a story with a solo archery hunt on a nice bull elk and this wreck getting it out. Worth it. Counterfeit Gray went to the canner the next week.

Due to some "life" that put me in a situation where I did not have the ability to start him myself, I had a reputable trainer start him (the only horse I have had anyone else start). That trainer had trouble with him too. He was one of those that is pretty much born broncy.

Жыл бұрын

This incident isn't really much "bucking". I just titled it that way because most of the potential viewers have no concept at all of the word "crowhopping", which is just weak bucking. Rodeo bucking horses are bred larger and bred to really buck. In addition, rodeo broncs, have a "flank strap" just in front of their back legs, which stimulates a kicking/hopping response while they buck. The flank strap doesn't hurt them, but just stimulates an impulse that creates a more consistent bucking pattern.

The bucking is bad behavior, and it's important to make the bad thing hard and the right thing easy. Even though he wasn't bucking real hard, you still have to stay aboard and try to get them out of it, so leverage is applied to try to get them disengaged, and frankly, sometimes the leverage applied is done so just to stay aboard. You are right. I was trying to get him to disengage to the left, which I eventually did.

It wasn't until that horse started really sucking back into his buck that "Cowboy" pulled his head up. A horse can't rear with its head down and can't buck (with any real force) with its head up...I know all about the exceptions. I've been on horses that get that bucking rythum and gets more and more sailfish"y" with each step. I don't hesitate for a minute to pop that bit hard in its mouth. Like cowboy stated...Good behavior is rewarded, the unwanted behavior must be discouraged. This guy can obviously take what this colt is dishing out. But he's probably training this colt for a client. If this behavior isn't nipped in the bud...Someone with less ability, a velcro butt, would be launched...and potentially hurt, very badly. This guy is a horseman. Man, whiny little weekend riders. If you haven't done this yourself...chances are real good you, you've never been on a horse that tested you. Most of these people who write such a comment, have been handed the reins of a push button pet. One that may have started out like this grey colt, they should be saying Thank you.

Meg, I can totally see how you would think that, however, if a horse gets after it before you have the chance to get him turned and disengage him, then the focus becomes just staying aboard, for me anyway. I lost my right stirrup on the first or second jump which made it even more difficult to ride. He acted like that BEFORE I pulled on him. His fit had nothing to do with me pulling on him, but the pressure I applied did keep the fit way more subdued than it could have been because it allowed me to keep him from getting complete control of his balance and momentum. Had I not been lifting, he would have really blown and I likely could not have ridden it through. In ANY bronc ride, whether intentional or unintentional, one of the keys to staying on is lifting with the rein hand. He was taking his head down so hard, that it took considerable effort to maintain the leverage and control needed to stay on. I don't enjoy bronc rides anymore, and I never enjoy any sort of pain to an animal, so I would have preferred never to have pulled on his face at all. But I also do not back down when a horse challenges me. He picked the fight, I won, and then we moved forward with a nice evening of riding.

The horse has its mouth open because it can, it's not slinging its head fighting a poorly fit bit, or because it needs its teeth floated. Have you ever seen bareback broncs? No bit, just halter. And the majority of the time, if they're really doing a good job of letting the cowboy on their back know they have some fight in them, will hold its mouth open. This grey colt had its head in the dirt, parallel to the ground. You gotta get his head up or the buck will grow in intensity with every step. So your suggesting he should've let him continue? Forgive me if I don't hire you to start my horses.

+Meg Meister Meg, you can ride with a hackamore (no bit, But that chain under the jaw can do some real damage in the wrong hands and the sidebars, or shanks, can be very painful if you don't keep those teeth floated). Or a side-pull, but with this method, you better have a horse that's already push button. You couldn't pull his head up to stop the buck with a side-pull, and with limited riding experience...you would've been LAUNCHED. I'm sorry you injured your shoulder. I certainly hope and pray you have a speedy and complete recovery. But upon your return, please keep in mind. You maybe weight in at 100 lbs? The horse has a good 1000 pounds on you. They don't have to try to hurt you. You could be leading your perfectly behaved pet, he can swing his head from a fly, hit you in the face and knock you on your fanny. OR MUCH, MUCH WORSE. Remember it's not your instructor that teaches you the small nuances...It's the thousands of different horses you'll ride (if your in the business) that teach you. Each is an individual. As soon as you think you know what your doing...along will come another to prove, YOU DON't. That is the definition of experience.

Hurting his mouth

The horse was hurting his own mouth. You see when the horse was hopping, he had is head all the way down. Because the rider couldn't just give him more rein and/or let go of the reins, the horse ended up pulling on the reins all by himself. The horse had a chance to lift up his head and listen, but he's a stubborn colt and didn't really care.

Be easy on his mouth

That horse has always bucked with his mouth open, even with no bit or rider, so it looked worse than it was. But that horse is being trained, and bad behaviour must be nipped in the bud. Bits are made for both controlling and pressuring the animal. I've ridden green horses before, and when they act up you're gonna see me bop the reins. Does it hurt? Maybe. Will the horse know not to do it again. Yes! The whole point of training a colt is to made good behaviour easy and bad behaviour hard.
