Hello again
Further to my other thread from last week on the discussion forum, I think I have noticed that Jack only bucks on flat ground - never while going uphill.
That may seem obvious, as it's harder to buck going uphill, but the difference in his canter going up a slight, or even less than slight slope, is amazing - he's really forward going and positively wants to go (even without me asking  ). However, on the flat, he doesn't want to canter as much. He doesn't always buck, but the 3 occasions he has, they were all very nearly, or completely flat ground.
We have a dressage girth, and I wondered if I didn't have it fitted properly, and if his elbows were banging the buckles.
What is the correct position of the buckles on a dressage girth (feel stupid asking!)
He doesn't want to canter in the school either, but I have put that down to still being unbalanced and restricted to circles in ther, so finding it difficult (and boring, lol).
Or can anyone think of any other reason that might make him buck on the flat, but not uphill.
Thanks for reading
