BUCKING IN HORSES


  • A horse will buck from a sudden fright. If a car pulls out in front of you on the highway your reaction might be to stomp on the breaks, hit the horn, swerve, or just scream.
  • A horse's reaction to a sudden fright is to buck or bolt.
  • This is the horse’s evolutionary response to having animals with claws jump on its back
  • Once the horse starts bucking, a lot of times he will frighten himself so he will keep bucking
  • A horse will buck from a sharp, sudden pain.
  • A loose saddle pulled across withers may pinch the skin and cause a sudden, sharp pain with a consequent reaction.
  • Some horses will buck from having a cold saddle put on their back in the morning. That’s a condition called “cold backed.”
  • Some horses will buck because they are sly
