Hey Lucas, I wouldn't let River quit until he hasn't bucked for an hour or more. Don't make the mistake of treating a bronc like a colt. Keep us posted on your progress. Richard

Man, that can be a tough one. You can go a couple different ways, but my recommendation would be to work or flank that sucker and make him buck til he don't want no more. If he cripples himself, what have you lost? I bet he won't do any real damage, though. A horse like that doesn't have a very bright future, so I'd go as far as needed to get him over it. I'd flank him everyday and when he wants to quit, make him go some more and try to pull it all out. The important thing is you don't let him quit as long as he's bucking. I'd want 15 trips around the pen at a high lope with NO bucking before I let him quit. Good luck and stay safe!

Hey Lucas, Great to hear from you. When I got started, everyone used split reins so I'm pretty comfortable with them. I like the rope reins for the weight and the fact that they are so easy to manage on the young ones. Splits are easier to rope in since there's less bulk in your left hand.

Connie Woodward that's great news.  Keep us updated.

Amy Hershey Awesome!!

Lucas G Truax. Great!!

😂Very kind of you!  Glad to hear things are going well. Good luck!

Garreth Strickland I've had a vew people asking the same question lately.  We're working on putting together some prices/dates.  Is August too far off?

Garreth Strickland Sounds great!  Good Luck and let me know if I can help.

Michael Means. All that sounds ok to me.  It's not uncommon for a young horse to get excited and buck.  I'd just keep taking it slow and make sure you work her for 15 to 20 minutes before you get on.  Watch The Ranch Horse 10 Commandments, Commandment #3.  It'll help.  Good Luck!
