Maia, my trainer, thought Quad was ready to do his lesson yesterday down in the arena, so down they went. She was lunging Quad when all of a sudden, he blew up. I'm surprised that I caught it on my camera! It happened so quickly! He was trotting nicely when he suddenly bucked. And bucked. And bucked again. She thinks he took a deep breath and hit the cinch and it startled him. But, he quickly calmed down and continued his lesson.

Aerial horse! He looks calm enough in the last photo.
I can see why she's just doing ground work now. Or has she ridden him yet? Is she doing ground driving?
I had that happen quite a few times with Cole over the winter when I was lounging him. Somehow, after seeing that, I still managed to climb up and ride--and he would be fine, too.
I think that sometimes they just need to let off a little emotions.
Woohooo! Rodeo moment! Good thing he gets that all out of his system before he has a rider. eeep! Awesome action photos!
He looks handsome in any saddle, but I really do prefer him in an English saddle, I think.

Those are great pictures!! Just what I needed to see. Somehow seeing that bolsters my confidence a bit.
Yep, he's just feeling good :) Gotta throw a few bucks in there :) We lunge most of our horses before we ride, and when we don't, we get a ride like that going out. It's always entertaining!
He sure is pretty :) I'll come ride him for you!
Air Quad...great photos
