I like to canter on trails, but my new horse starts bucking when we start to run. How would you fix it?

Did you try pulling his head to the side?

| :] Hmmm..try to pull his head around, like toward your leg. It should be easier than pulling his head up. Below I pasted a paragraph on what I was trying to say. Sorry I'm not very good at explaining things. When a horse bucks, immediately disengage the horse's hindquarters. This is done by pulling your reins sharply to either the left or right, and make your horse touch its nose to your leg. A horse cannot buck when it is in this position, it can only move in an incredibly tight circle. It also reinforces you as being the herd leader and loosens the horses muscles up so that it is easier for the horse to move. Do not release the horse until it completely stops moving, and then hold for three seconds. Repeat on other side, just to reinforce your point to the horse. Every time the horse is about to buck, or starts bucking, repeat. If a horse is prone to bucking, do this everytime you get on the horse - both standing beside the horse and once you mount. http://www.wikihow.com/Stop-a-Horse-from-Bucking <That's a link to a whole bunch of other stuff you may want to look at. Hope that helped

well, my mom asked us if we wanted to run (yeah, I do mean gallop) but instead of waiting for an answer she just started to go, and that's when he started to buck. And he also started crow hopping when I was jumping him over a little creek with my friends at a show. But he doesn't buck or anything in the arena.

It sounds like he just gets really excited when he's happy. Circle him every time he bucks to let him know you don't like it. Pretty soon he'll get the point. Also, does your saddle fit him correctly?
Thanks ALcowgurl26 for the awsome banner!
