If I keep him I think I may need to not ride with L for a while, which will be awkward since she has been riding Taj and I'm keeping Taj here. But I need to stick to only walk and trot for a while with Abe. One more time of getting me off might tip Abe into being an outlaw, and today he popped a big buck cantering up a hill and I was gone, no chance to do a one rein stop and interrupt the bucking. I might need to just sell him or find a trainer to see if he can be brought back to being a nice riding horse.
Such a bummer, last fall and December riding him, he was so good. And he stayed good this spring when I was riding with just F and Serena, which was just walk and trot. I thought I had solved the issue of him getting too amped by keeping him behind Taj for cantering but it didn't work today. And the bugger doesn't stick around when I hit the ground.
