I have a horse that is in training at my place and he is a bucker. He is totally perfect on the ground, so sweet and you can do anything with him. But... when you put a saddle on his back, he is a different horse. He gets mad and bucks, rears, spins you name it the bad behavior he does it. And he is totally ticked off!
Now sometime I work with him and he will work fine but then all the sudden... the evil horse rears it's ugly head.
Now to just make sure I wasn't crazy, I had three other trainers come out and work with him. All of them said the same thing... You will never be able to trust that horse and he is dangerous under saddle, get rid of him. And these are trainers that have been there and done that so I trust their judgement. But...
He is so sweet on the ground and such a good boy when he doesn't have a saddle on.
Has anyone ever brought a horse back from a behavioral problem like this?

I've got one the same at my place!
My mate is a horse trainer (a very good one).
He has worked him,drafted him,etc.etc.
Beautiful nature, peaceful disposition, but evry now and then he'll buck like mad. He always has.
we've resigned that he'll have to go to a bucking show!

The most ignored step in training a horse is the FOUNDATION GROUNDWORK. This is key in communication between you and your horse. If properly done you will have no problems in training one. The sole and only reason for a horse to buck is out of fear of something that is unknown to them. You need to start from the begining with this horse and get a clean slate so to speak.
