Okay, so I board Koda at a friends house and have told M (friend) that she can ride him when ever she wants. She is a much better rider then I am and has way more horse experience too so I don't worry about it. Well I found out today that she took him out on Tuesday and was working him in a field down the road. So she put my saddle on Koda, which she fits but isn't real experienced with, and her horses bit and head stall on. We've talked about changing Koda's headstall over to one similar so I guess she wanted to try it out.
She gets him to the field and is doing circles with him when apparently he started bucking and she lost all head control over him. Now she's rode out horses bucking before but always in her saddle where she can grab the horn, my saddle is an Aussie and has no horn. Off she flies and Koda ran home. She followed him, and made him go back and work but she is still hurting today. I can't believe he did that! He's done a few mini-bucks with me but never what she described! She says she's okay and has had worse but I still feel bad. She says she's gonna work him again tomorrow while I'm moving but is gonna do a LOT of ground work first before getting on this time and use his bit and headstall and her saddle.
