Q&A: Is it normal for a horse to buck every once in a while? Professional Clinician Jeff Davis answers: I've had my horse for five years. The first year or two, he bucked me off twice. Three years later, I was practicing loping to emergency stops and he bucked me right off. Some people told me this is "normal", and that going three years without bucking under saddle is "really good" for a horse. Is that the case? Where do I go from here in order to feel safe riding him?
