We had a very nice POA here for a while. We were told he had bucked and unseated a five year old boy and was looking for a new home. We also knew he'd been a lesson pony over jumps in a posh California barn and had been sent to Oregon to retire (age 17). We were a little careful with him at first. Our daughter weighs in at about 115 soaking wet, so she rode him both in the ring and on trail before we put the little girls on him. He was really a nice pony.
A teenage boy who feeds for us when we're away got on him twice bareback and got bucked off twice. Haven't a clue what this means, just an anecdote. Nancy
