Why would you do that in the first place... unless you want to get bucked off? Okay, I'm just messing with you. But this is a perfect example of how a professional horseman can accurately pinpoint a horse owner's level of expertise. They're unaware of it but they say stuff that totally gives them away. In your case, I would advise some lessons with a competent trainer. Larry T. @Shane jones: Yeah I've got some advice… quit nudging her in the flanks.

Thanks Shane Jones Hi Larry ,

I am sure the answer comes from keen observation and your long experience so I am glad to be able to benefit from it. Many thanks.

Neck reins great,side passes, worked cattle on, everything seemed fine with her. However the last couple of times she has been ridden after being on her for about an hour with no problems, she started acting up. Seemed to balk, jerking her head around,spinning wouldn't go forward,pawing her right foot vigorously. Acting asthough she agiatated or in pain I checked her out didn't find anything,but haven't called the vet yet. Called the previous owner who has had most her life and she had never seen her or heard of her acting this way. Her thoughts maybe she is in pain from the saddle or bit. Now the saddle is a new Paul Taylor Brazos but I didn't find nothing with it. Any thoughts what it could be?

There are still too many questions unanswered for me to offer much advice. It sounds like plenty of rides have passed and the mares are still tense (scared) and they shouldn't be if they are good horses and handled right. It also sounds like they haven't been ridden enough times to be trained well enough to "spin like a top". Makes me wonder if they weren't taught to spin out of fear. I sincerely doubt the size of the pen has anything to do with them starting to buck. Not much more I can say other than they sound like confirmed buckers... either bucking because of fear... bucking because they weren't started right... or bucking because the buck is simply in them. Take care, Larry T. @Susan: Hi Susan. There are still too many questions unanswered for me to offer much advice.
