Note
Which constructions it allows depends on which buck is meant. When a horse leaps and kicks, when a machine jerks, or when a person resists, the form appears in active sentences such as "it had bucked all morning." Throwing a rider or pack is different, because that meaning takes an object, so it also allows a natural passive: "the rider was bucked into the dust." The horse bucks, and the rider gets bucked.
