What kind of bucking problem? Really horses don't usually want to buck, they do it as some kind of reaction to either something scaring them or pain. What if they are bucking because the saddle is too tight and it hurts? and nobody figures this out. That would be too bad. My Icelandic did buck with a trainer who was being too hard, trying to make him do a lateral gait when it's not natural for him. (I did see him do a foxtrot in the pasture today though) So is that a bucking problem? He couldn't even buck *that* hard, and he really isn't the kind to buck over nothing. > Isn´t pretty much the same in the US you also > have a hole lot of horses going to slaughter > every year and foals also I think the foals are > mostly from the PMU business ........... > I think it does happen, it varies state to state. I believe in California you cannot slaughter horses, I read in the paper that Kentucky is looking to outlaw horse slaughter, including shipping horses to other states for slaughter. They thought that it looks bad for because we have such a huge horse industry here. Kim
