Hi larry! I love your videos! This one especially! I need some help though, the horse im riding is more spinning on his front and not pivoting on his correct hind foot, what should I do?
hey i break and train 2 year olds. do u have any advise or exercises i could use for teaching young horses to flex and bend in the rib cage in their first 60 days of riding
I was very impressed and happy to see that this horse did not swith it’s tail, and that even through you were training on him, you were not exactly drilling him and on his head constantly. I had just watch some “free training” videos on reigning where the horses were constantly switching their tails, the guy on their head constantly.
So after watching this video I’ve realized that I’ve been asking my mare, to do pivots, the wrong way. How I’ve been askin her is pulling on the reins and laying them across her neck with leg pressure. That also confuses with side passes. Thank you so much for posting this!! She’s my first cutting horse and I’m still new to teaching a horse advanced stuff. Pivoting/spinning was the one thing I was totally lost on.
That’s great to hear, Barbols.
I love it when a rider is willing to try new things and give it his best shot.
Good luck with your training endevors.

Thank you!! I know it takes about a year to train, but if a horse has been worked with and knows the basics for cutting, like pivots, and slide stops, etc, how long would it take for a trainer to work with a horse like that? I’d like to take lessons from someone that knows what they’re doing so I don’t screw her up when she comes back. Do you happen to know of any trainers around the Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas area?
GREAT video. My horse already knows the spins, but its still great to freshen up a bit. One thing that I do have a question is how do you make them spin faster? I have tried acclorating pressure, adding more cluck, but nothing has seemed to work. Is there any video of yours that would help? Thank you and God Bless!
I have a gaited mare the loves doing this kind of stuff, but she is extremly high strung and has a hard time focussing. Any tips or excercises to get her to focuss and stop trying to play so much?
Great video larry very helpful I got my mare turning around the only question I have is my mare is turning around and kinda picking up her head like this horse was how do I get it to come down do I bump with the outside rein as I’m turning?

Glad you liked it, Mashdoafro.
Now, go out and apply it to your horse while it’s still fresh in your mind.
Good luck,
