Bucking is a natural defence reaction for a horse and often results when the horse feels uncomfortable or threatened. Some horses also buck when they are excited. Although this behaviour is fine when the horse is turned out in the paddock, when being ridden it is extremely dangerous for the rider and regardless of the reasons for it happening it must be prevented. Of particular concern is when a child's pony resorts to bucking as a young rider may not have the experience or strength to deal with it effectively.The BuckStop works by preventing the horse lowering his head to such a degree that he can round his back and perform a full buck, because the BuckStop attaches to the bit the horse quickly learns that if he puts his head down the bit raises in his mouth and effectively reminds him not to do this.
The BuckStop should only be used as a preventative measure for horses that buck, it should not be used on a horse or pony that is well behaved or for any purpose other than to prevent bucking in a horse that has displayed such behaviour. It does not prevent a horse from achieving an outline when engaged in schooling/ dressage training.
The BuckStop should only be used under the supervision of an experienced instructor or trainer. The BuckStop is not suitable for use when jumping.
