I've been a trainer for 25 years on cutter and reiners. I was paralyzed 20 years ago in a farming accident. I still show with a special saddle. This video explains so well about improving the stop! Very informative. I show to many off my team because you explain it better than I can! Thanks, Larry!
Excellent tips , especially the rear feet in the air. I've been struggling with getting a good stop on my big guy, he is awesome at the walk and trot- plants his butt. But the lope is literally a 50/50, so I will try these tips especially that 1st one, but will try them all. He is very very on the front end, always has been.👍 Shared this on fb with my horse peeps to .
@@ltrocha I think what might help me the most is you are saying when the rear of the saddle comes up a little bit that's when I want to say whoa and try my stop right?
@@kellyriley7918 Yes, at the lope. Another timing trick... when the lead front foot is on the ground, the hind feet are in the air. Another timing trick... when the horse's nose goes forward, the hind feet are in the air. At the trot, timing doesn't matter.
Great tips. Your last one about rewarding a good stop by taking away all pressure is so important... and of course the greatest reward is getting off him and quitting work, so if you do that after anything he does, he sure will learn fast to want to do that thing :) Sometimes, I hadn't been planning to have such a short ride, but if my horse does something perfect that he'd previously struggled with, I'll just get off him right there and then and know its cementing in his mind "Ok, that response was right, I'll always do it that way"
How do I get a mare to frame up when she has gotten too lazy in her lope? She's a reiner and when I ask her to round out and move she wrings her tail as I try to get her to lift her abdomen with my Spur. She's too heavy on her front end, has a beautiful head set but her response is to make it obvious she's upset. I want her to lift in the front then I can get to stop better. She is also higher in the rear and I've considered putting wedges on her front feet to even her out but dont want to crush her heels. She's very good at lateral movement but I feel like I'm in her mouth too much to almost hold her front end up. Like I'm holding her too tight on the reins and pushing her with my seat and legs. She's on TH-cam that was done about 8 years ago under DMR LENACAT. You might see the issue on that video. If not I'll video tape her again. My daughter wants to show her this year but can't til this is fixed. Does better with me but she needs to do well with Meagan.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. However, you aren't going to like my answer. I watched your horse's video like you requested. I think you are lucky to have her working as well as she is. Her conformation is all wrong for what you are trying to do. There are videos on my channel that outline good conformation. Good luck.
I forgot how good you are. Reminding me why it works.
Thanks

Hi Kelly, Remember to take your horse's front end away the instant he shifts his weight to the front.
Do that at the trot and lope both
