Nice colt! Good catch on the stiff neck problem, too. I have most of your training videos and I know you address the rider's responsibility for properly timing the stop queue in several of them. It might be a good idea to also mention in these introductory videos regarding stops at accelerated gaits to ask for the stop when the horse's feet are in the air coming forward so he can properly comply. I always get discouraged when I see newbies "correcting" a horse for something that wasn't his fault.
I’ve got a 14 year old QH that has a decent stop, but he doesn’t tuck his butt and really “slide”. I’ve heard that it’s really hard to teach an older horse to truly slide in a stop, but is there any way to improve that?
As long as the horse is sound, "stopping" is "stopping". Stopping hard is no different than any other maneuver taught to a horse. Long slides depends on how fast the horse is traveling and how good the ground is.
@@ltrocha he stops hard, but he will pick up his hind end again and do like a little “bunny hop” stride instead of really sliding. I’m not sure if it’s my arena footing or something else that would cause that, but I was just curious if it had to do with training. Thank you!
@@ltrocha okay, thank you. Footing is probably a good portion of the issue, but I board so unfortunately I have no control of the issue. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever build an arena!
Just dealt with my filly being stiff to the left and she was out at the poll. Got thst fixed and shes good as gold
That's great. Good luck.
Enjoy your videos your great at sharing your methods thanks for sharing

Hi Skip, I hear ya! Thank you for your business. I appreciate it.
Thankyou very good advice as I am having this problem with my horse rooting his nose out at a stop but what can I do to break this habit?
You saw what I did... do the same
Ok so just see saw when he does it?
I have a 4 year old Mustang and do you have any tips on how to make her keep cantering or loping she won’t lope or canter in a big circle
That's an easy one... give her the motivation needed to do it.

@@phoenixequestrian8680 Your footing may be too sticky. To slide, He needs 2 or 3 inches of loose dirt on top of a packed base.

Hey! Do you have any tips for not holding the horn when loping?
Yes, I do. Hold the horn until you ride well enough to not hold the horn.
I cannot see and understand what y do with your hands. I really want to know
I’ve read in so many places….that bourse should not be ridden very much until they are 5-6 years old.
How long should the training sessions be
No more than 15 minutes of concentrated training.
