Also if a horse was bucking every time you rode it, it is either it had a back problem and needed to see a vet - or it was being overfed and under exercised. That is not normal behaviour for a properly schooled and handled horse.

Bucking is a subjective term. Jumpy might have been a better word to use.
Horse isn't exactly trying to 'buck', but he seems rather nervous at times, despite having been well trained, and it often has to do with cold mornings.
