And here is a little quote from
http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com for what is the MOST COMMON breed of horse used for bucking stock. Good conformation, strong legs, high spirits, and desire to buck make a horse a good bronco. Most broncs are
part draft, which gives them good bone and muscle making them able to jump high, and part
QH, appy, or paint to give them heart and a strong will and athletic ability. Many come from generations of bucking horses, so the natural desire to buck is bred in them
BTW The horse Michelle was on when she got her pelvis and wrist broke. Guess what POCO BUENO. And a now deceased friend had the full brother he also had some very bad rides one of which ended up with a shattered elbow. That particular horse had some real anger issues.
But remember...there are good and bad in EVERY species (including people). I had a Morab (morgan/arab) who I would not trade for anything. He did throw his head and give me hellish black eye once....but on a packing trip into a lake (above Twisp)...our friend's QH mare and mule both "freaked out" on the trail and in the long run, it was Naches (our morab) who ended up making a double trip to help haul everything in. The QH mare was experienced packer, as was the mule. The mule flipped out and lodged himself - upside down- between a stump and rock...had to cut the pack of of him. The mare - she blew up at the very beginning of the trail and went bucking and kicking and running straight through us pack of kids (about 10 of us). My poor morab was the unexperienced 3 yo who was the one that no one was trusting...but ended up being the dependable one. He was so funny....he would grab your glove, hammer, shovel, whatever you had there by you if you were working on something...and run off with it. He was a riot. I used to ride him at a dead run across the field with only baling twine around his neck (don't ask me how I never got killed - no clue)
Morgans are so awesome!!!
