Not surprised on this one...look at the little itty bitty saddle and the short stirrups...add one rider who probably doesn't know what he's really doing and....
I obtained a big old thoroughbred from a man who was a terrible drunk and could no longer take care of him. He had a great retirement with my family. Put a kid or a beginner on him and he was the classic kind old gelding. Rowdy had been in many rodeos and knew his limitations and riders' limitations. I was told that if anyone spurred him to a task he wasn't prepared for, or jerked his mouth once too often or had had too many beers, he knocked the rider off with a buck or a quick stop and jogged away. He wasn't mean, but he defended himself. He was a good old gelding and lived past 30.

Correct Connect helps you develop better contact with your horse. The reins/gloves were developed by Olympic eventer Jill Hennenberg and endorsed by recognized trainers. Read about them!
