How do you train a horse to buck on command?
Timmie asked:
I’m not looking at teaching the horse to throw the rider. The horse is very good natured and very willing to learn. If you fall off this horse, she will turn around and nudge you back on your feet and stand perfectly still as you get on, saddle or bareback. I’ve seen one other person train their horse like this but their method was rather cruel.
I’m not trying to make her a “rodeo” bucking horse. Far from it. She already knows a few simple tricks like laying down and kneeling. I want to train her to give straight-line bucks, no longer then 10 or 15 seconds. Any longer and it could hurt her. The object is to stay on and get the hardest bucks without being thrown. This is nothing but another trick for her.

What can a horse trainer compete in at a horse show?
Ms. T asked:
Does anyone know of a website that lists the classes that a horse instructor/trainer can ride in at horse shows? I know that trainers can only ride in certain classes because they are at a higher level than other riders and it deems it “unfair” and “unfit” for a trainer to compete in a class against riders that are on the same level as their students.

I’m trying to find out a definite as to what classes a trainer is allowed to ride in without causing problems.
Thanks!
