How to stay on a Bucking horse?

Question

How are you supposed to be when your horse bucks (posture wise)? My horse has only bucked once, and that terrified me! Any suggestions on how to get over my fear?!?

Answer 1

well to get over your fear you should show your horse who the boss and that your not scard. and working more with you horse helps alot you just get back to it and hold on and keep your mind in the middle.

Answer 2

As long as you have a good,deep seat, staying on shouldn't be any trouble.  Just rock your shoulders back, sit as deep down in the saddle as you can, and squeeze your horse forward with your lower leg.  My horse is three and bucks like a trained broncho, but she has only made me hit the dirt three times (one of them was bareback).  On the other hand, she's dumped my trainer every time she goes at it.  Just follow those three things, and stay calm.  You should be fine.
