Or you could invest in a good coach and have a willing partner, a friend in the horse who will fill in for you when the crap hits the fan, getting some help is probably cheaper than a hospital bill. Take it from someone who has been hurt enough to learn how to appreciate the difference.

Cutter wrote: Ha, I figured out an answer to what you do if you throw the bucket and it doesn't stop him... I'm gonna make a killing like Parelli and his $75 rope halters, a bucket on a rope!! Then you can chuck it at him and pull it back to you and repeat. What do you think, $50 shouldn't be too much, right?

NO, NO, WAIT! I have a better idea!
A BUCKET ATTACHED TO THE END OF A FISHING POLE! Throw the bucket, reel that sucker back in, rinse and repeat!
I will call it the "Anti-Kick Serenity Bucket with Self-Retrieval System!"
I WILL BE A MILLIONAIRE!!!

Its not the bucket that is scary, its the unexpected large movement (throwing the bucket) and the resulting thump that gets them. And I strongly agree with the loud noise, yell, stern voice whatever to go with it. I'm not saying it will be 100%, but I've never had a problem with it.
