I have a question for those of you who are experienced horse breakers. I am in the process of breaking a 3 yr old gelding. This is pretty much my first time breaking a horse myself. Things were going well until today - had a bit of a wreck.

Today was the 4th time putting the saddle on. The first two times went pretty well. Last time he bucked quite a little but settled down. Today he pulled away before I got the cinch fastened. You can imagine how that ended up. Calamity. Thankfully he didn't hurt himself or the saddle or me.

So my question is, how do I proceed now? How long should I wait to saddle him up again? Any suggestions on how to do it better next time are appreciated.
