@Snakeiz12 First, make sure your reins are not tight and forcing him back.
As soon as your butt hits the saddle, aggressively ride your horse forward.
Keep this up and the backing will disappear.

I’ve been riding a long time and never knew that such a simple technique could hsve such a result. Will try it next time.

hi i am from mexico and i see that here in us you are the best to lease horses with minimum effort tomake the horse do what you want and the best part is that the horse enjoys it the only think the i do not like is the that horse always had his head down is possible that the horse has his head up and continue to have an exellent tent

Thanks I never …
Thanks I never thought of that and I was 11 when I trained him so he doesn’t have alot of training he just does the basics, walk trot canter turn backup and kinda stops lol.

@moodysoup I always refresh my horse’s memory by doing some groundwork. It also tells me how good she is of a listener on that day. She’s 3 and tends to get stubborn at times, it helps a lot! I think it’s a great thing that you do this!

excellent tips!
excellent tips!

i think you should make that horse spin untll it stands still.

My horse is like a …
My horse is like a rock when I mount but when I try to get him to stop when I’m riding he doesn’t listen. I’ve switched bits and went to a hackamore once too and he did okay with the hackamore but then he stopped truning so I went back to the bit and if I ride him with his halter he’s perfect and stops when I tell him to.

I may be a little …
I may be a little cheesy but I usually do groundwork (lounging) before I get on. It takes the edge off. And I always lounge before getting onto an unfamiliar horse.

Oh yeah she will …
Oh yeah she will stop. I think the people that had her before me abused her or didn’t fully train her cuz she spooks but at least it’s in place.

Oh there’s nothing …
Oh there’s nothing wrong with it. But, when I ride my horse if I did that to her she would take off at a full run. Or you’d get one heck of a flying lesson. You just can’t do that to any horse I guess was my point. : )

maybe start working …
maybe start working her a little so she can release all that energy and then she will have patience,, wats that thing that they run in circle .. i only know it in spanish. is it called lunging.. yeah something like that.. not that tiried though just enough for her to be relaxed when you mount her…
