Horse Training Tips with Larry Trocha

hey larry, i’m a huge fan of your posts on here, the quote you used in one of your videos you said something about training a horse is 90% horsemanship and 10% horse really hits home to me i feel like the trainer/rider needs to educate them self to the max before making the horse doing what you want them to do.. thank you again for all the help you have gave myself and many many more via youtube. please keep up the great work -harlon

@MonMo18 Yes, there are horses that have trouble spinning etc.
Most horses that are bred for cutting or reining usually are good athletes and perform the best.

how do you teach a horse like her to move their haunches?(video 3:00) I have a gelding, that every leg movement means go faster forward, but doesnt give to the bit or be supple. I got him about a week ago and now all his problems are really showing through.

Larry, I have a young mare that reminds me alot of the horse your riding in this video. Good bred, but just tough. She rides around nice, but she not honest. I’ve drug some calves on her on the ranch, but I really don’t know how I got it done. Shes real ouchy about ropes. I appreciate that you’ll show us some horses that aren’t quite finished. Great videos, simple ways to get your message across. You’ve given me some tools to put in my toolbox. Thanks

One of your better videos. I like how you have shown a horse with some issues and worked through them. I think this is typical of some of these Dual bred horses. But, also what makes them great. Once they start to work with you instead of against… WOW. What would you do to get a horse that canters around the spin from prior habit, to stop cantering and trot the spin in front? I am slowing down and pushing out to keep impulsion anything more? Thanks. I hope I can meet you someday.

Larry, I just ordered your training video series and am very excited to get started with my 3 YO filly. She has almost exactly the same personality as the filly you are riding here. But we are good togather. Thanks for all your excellent info!

larry,
you are an amazing guy. It is absolutely amazing how she doesnt know how to spin and she did a pretty decent one. For me, i have trouble yeaching my horse to neck rein and moving the shoulder. With neck reining, its like it has no effect on him, even if i put the rein on his neck it seems like he cant feel it, should i be pressing harder with it? Moving the shoulder, ive done the ground work but i dont know what is a good shoulder move.

Glad you liked the video doc.
Yes, I try to use horses that make mistakes in my training videos.

I think the viewer can learn more if he sees what to do when things aren’t perfect.

Hey Larry,

I first of all have to say that I own all your videos and can say that they are the best out there. You use horses that are not fully trained and we get to see you correct them. I have a question about lead changes. I hear that you’re supposed to keep their shoulders to teh left and move the hind end to the right. I’m having a lot of trouble doing this. My horse just gets confused and gets mad. Any suggestions?

Hi Mr. larry can you please put a video on how teaching your horse to stop in a nice way with the back and not with the front hands. I will really apricciate that, thanks.
