It is interesting, Tivar never ever bucked with me but did with other people. He used to be a horse anyone could ride and he enjoyed it. Then when he changed, he really got grumpy and he bucked. ( ulcers maybe) I always figured he needed to be someone's very special horse or only horse and he was not getting that here. It has worked with Janice because I think he knows he is her #1 riding horse. He does not want others riding him. He did not like training, it was not always done well for him. I do not know about the lunging except that he hated it so I did not do it. He would go like Karen said fast around while gritting his teeth. perhaps he had that done in training. When he was first trained Jo did "free" lunging with him and ran alongside him and he loved it. They would go over obstacles and do all kinds of things and he was so proud! Ann
