Hey everyone! 

I have a 2 yr old AQHA Colt I’m bringing along, I’ve saddled him about 6 times now. Every single time he bucks his ass off🫠 I end the session with him working under saddle well. But there seems to be something I’m missing that’s bugging him. Wondering what I could do to help him through this. 

I’ve flanked him, roped his feet, worked him with the cinch rig extensively, sacked him out, can throw a tarp on him, can put my own weight on his back, he’s very very quiet but the saddle seems to be scary to him every time. 

Couple things to mention, he seems to be more sensitive on his right side though I have mainly worked through that, can be a tad lazy, I have concerns about him getting “dull”.

If anyone has any insight let’s hear it! Would love to hear from you Richard, I know we chatted on live about this colt a month or so ago. 

Hey!

I’ve got a nice 2 yr old AQHA Colt I’m bringing along. He’s a lot like the horse “neeches”. I got the first saddling done, he bronced out quite a bit to be honest hahah. Anywho, now when I go to throw on the saddle, and the stirrups, etc., fall on the opposite side he is veryyyyyy sensitive. When I did do the first saddle, he bucked good but by the end of the session he was working well with it. Just curious if there’s anything specific I should do to get him more “comfortable” with things being on his back. He’s completely fine with the saddle pad and cinch combo, I’ve flanked him, and had ropes all over him. Is it a matter of me getting more confident in letting him bronc out?
