Could this be ruining your horse's stops?

      No, contrary to popular belief, many horses prefer to carry their head a lot lower. I just find out what's comfortable to each horse and help them get balanced where they want to be.

    Trot on a right circle, then when you’re ready for the left lead canter turn around and move on a left circle with the nose pointing to the right - timing is everything so time it to where when you start your left circle you ask for your canter. Use the right circles in the beginning to get your horse forward enough if they’re not - you’ll get your lead.

We are at an English barn and have been riding english. I want to do western. Your video for neck reining is great! My question: I'm using a Neue Schule Turtle Top with Flex Horse Bit.

    This feels like a dumb question, but what IS the cue for a lead change? I'm getting good hip and shoulder control at each gait, but I am not sure what to do to cue for the lead change. So far I just ask for the lead change by keeping my leg on to move his hip and then turn him into the change. That obviously doesn't feel like the right idea, but not sure what the right cue is. I get tons of vague answers from different folks. Thank you!

    My 7yo just started putting all his weight on the right shoulder and pushes to the right with his whole body and flexing to the left so I can’t get my leg on him to go forward into the trot, he does it in both directions now the I can’t get him to move. I have tried loose rein short rein, I have the chiropractor coming in a few days, I know he has a very sensitive mouth but dentist can’t find anything real obvious 😢 he does have thick flabby cheeks. Have had him for 3 months with no history of his past , but a very nice boy otherwise.

    When I was a girl we bought a 12-year-old gelding for my dad. He wouldn't take the left lead either. I'm not sure if his previous owner knew there were 2 leads. He wasn't being stubborn, he was just "right-handed" and by the time we got him it was ingrained. We moved his hindquarters to the left and used corners and could get a left lead, and worked up the time on the left so that his muscles would get stronger and he'd be more comfortable on that side. That was a long time ago..... miss you, Snaps.
