One of my horses …
One of my horses stiffens his jaw when I pull his head around and acts like he will go over backwards with me. I sure will try the pull and release method. I’ll let you know how this works.

Very informative …
Very informative spooking video, but it might be good to mention disengaging the hind quarters in addition to getting lateral flexion. This is demonstrated in the first video but not mentioned. Some horses can still try to run off with their head turned, and getting them to disengage in the hind end takes their forward momentum away, putting them in “neutral”.

good video, and …
good video, and sound advice. If you feel that you can take an unbroke horse on a switchback (good luck). Hopefully others take your advice, “COMMON SENSE”

Thanks Larry…I …
Thanks Larry…I recently took my 2 year old on what I found out to be a scary trail-one I hadn’t been on before, steep draw on one side. I don’t recommend getting off a horse-she hadn’t spooked, but thought best to get off, lead her out of the area, I let my trail buddies know-”too much”short terms. Refer to “common sense should kick in” post. My horses are always “very broke” , but testing the limits of young horses is dangerous or the limits of older horses who aren’t broke!

If someone is …
If someone is foolhardy enough to take an unbroke horse on a dangerous trail, there is not much I can say except “lots of luck”. At some point common sense needs come into play.

I am hoping that …
I am hoping that you will take this a step further and show how to accomplish this in different location situations.
For example: in the woods, no room to circle, teaching the horse to give control without the circling.
I’ve seen this prep done, used in a tight place, the circling ended up with horse and rider tumbling down a steep incline beside the trail. Can you teach the one rein stop to be just a stop without the circling? What to do in tight places?

Thank you for some great ideas for dealing with an habitual spooker and arena-shy horse. I have been struggling with these exact issues for a long time. Now I have a few new tricks up my sleeve!

Once again you have …
Once again you have brought the simplicity of your training methods to the general horse public. Your always doing your best to communicate to the viewer how to ride and train the horse in a way that anyone with any common sense and rationality can comprehend. My wife is a green (very green) rider. She learns so much from you shes making leaps and bounds in horsemanship by your instruction. Your awesome Larry – Get on RFD-TV so we can learn something besides how to entertain an audience.

Thanks Larry! While …
Thanks Larry! While my horse has spooked on a couple of occasions I was especially interested in the part about being a better rider and “keeping control or getting control” of my horse. And “seeing” how to do that is a big confidence booster! He doesn’t take-off just rears and maybe backs up. One time he backed me into a tree but I think I caused it because I was pulling on the reins. Much Appreciated!

Thanks for the “free” video Larry…I “train” people that have “problems” with their horses…and I will be passing this along to a few as it just re-inforces what I’ve been telling them, but perhaps in a way that will get the point across a bit better. After all, seeing is worth a thousand words! Thanks again…

Thanx for your …
Thanx for your usual honesty about what we need to do
to prepare “rider wise”. I learned something today about
arm position and use. That being said, it also helps to desensitize your horse to scary objects in a safe environment. Lyons and others have tips on how to introduce stuff and encourage your horse to “spook in place” or not spook. Thanx Larry.

YES!!! Pull/ …
YES!!! Pull/release several times on the reins is absolutely the best way to keep a horse from bracing. Then, letting the horse rest while facing a spooky object is brilliant. Practicing for a few minutes right before a trail ride to remind horse to pay attention to your aids is so important. We often don’t take the time to do this critical step, and pay the price later.
