My Thoroughbred mare has started to buck in the canter. It started out because of an ill fitting saddle (because of her huge wither) The saddle has been adjusted to fit her now, but shes still bucking in the canter?
She used to canter beautifully, relaxed and happy, now when she makes the transition from a trot to a canter, she 'jumps' into the canter straight into a buck (a pathetic weak buck lol). She will buck, stride, jump, then buck again...and so on, till I pull her back into a trot.
I will contact a local trainer for help if I cant fix this, but I thought someone here might have an idea to help me fix this on my own.
Thankfully Ive managed to hold my seat well so far, Im confident while shes carrying on like a looney to sit it, but this definatly needs to stop now.
Any ideas on how to stop this behaviour?
