An excerpt from "Stop Bucking, An Online Study Course" from John Lyons Certified Trainer Keith Hosman:

First, when fixing the bucker, find a reasonably safe environment to do your training, one where dogs, other horses and other annoyances are kept to a calculated minimum. Second, there's ground work you can do (we'll cover that in today's lesson) and second, there's a game plan that's gotta be formulated. ("This horse may buck - what will I do if or when it happens?") The gameplan (and some riding) we'll cover tomorrow.

The very fact that I get soooooo many requests to help folks with bucking horses tells me that there's a whole lot of horses being rushed through their training. If those horse's hadn't been rushed they wouldn't "still" be bucking. In our rush to hit the trail we literally hit the trail - because we've skipped something. We'll spend this week figuring out just what.

I say "still bucking" above because yes, it's natural for a green horse to buck in the very beginning - but not your "trained horse," not Ol Dobber.

And, yes, everything you're reading goes for green horses - doubly this part about not rushing things. Like John Lyons says, "Don't start with your goal." Riding your horse past his buddy horse without him bucking is your goal, not your starting point. It's blowing past all the hard work and skipping to the goal that gets us into trouble.
