Hi, We have a 12 year old gelding (we were told his age, he is unregistered) 1/2 welsch 1/2 shetland pony that we purchased last year for my daughter to ride. Well, he does real well if you walk with him and you don't even have to have him on a lead, he just follows you every where, but as soon as we try to have my daughter ride him on her own, he bucks her right off. He is a really nice pony, but it is real discouraging for my daughter and she keeps trying & trying, but she is almost at the point of not wanting to get back on. How can I stop his bucking? We have mini's and large horses, and our large horses have never bucked, so I am unsure how to try and correct this with him being 12 years old. The past owners never said he bucked, so I really don't know if he did for them or not, but I guess that they might not mention that....
Thanks
Deanna
