How do you stop a horse from bucking in a canter?

Answer 1

check its back you might be hurting it. you might be asking wrong. if u want to stop him from doing it keep riding through the bucking to teach him that it doesn't bother you so he doesn't do it anymore. a horse only bucks because he thinks that it will get him out of work.

Answer 2

This will take some work since the horse is used to bucking while going forward. First try to figure out why the horse is bucking. It may have a sore back, a badly fitted saddle or saddle pad, the girth may be rubbing, etc. Once all of these have been ruled out the retraining can begin. You'll need to teach the horse that going forward is the best option, while bucking is not. When you are about to ask for the canter prepare for the buck and begin moving the horse sideways as soon as he starts to act up. Horses cannot buck while they are crossing their legs in a movement such as a sidepass. Once he learns that he'll be made to sidepass or possibly halt as soon as he bucks he'll begin to understand what you are asking. Reward him when he moves into the canter smoothly. If however after a month or so he has not improved you will need to contact a professional trainer to help you.

Answer 3

if your horse is bucking when you canter do this thing called a one rein stop it is when you reach down on one of you reins and pull it to your thigh and lock it there until your horse stops moving or bucking and then you can carry on and then if your horse bucks again in canter keep doing the one rein stop until your horse just wants to canter and not buck whilst cantering
