I believe you relaxed in the seat and took you feet of of him. What is the
bit are you using if you can disclose it? If it’s what I think is it’s a
great bit.
The horse I’m riding will kind of yo-yo. I do the bump/seesaw, and I let go
once she goes to put her head down, but it immediately comes right back up.
27 … I have the Slow Lope session, but have only watched the first 3
clips, I’ve been busy Riding my hoss’s, was a Beautiful weekend here in the
Heartland & I want to Go as much as I can before the snow flies … just
attended a weekend clinic presented by a John Lyons certified trainer this
weekend . . . spare me Mr Larry!
Hi Larry, I think you stopped your horse 4 times, he did stop very shortly
another time. Each time you stopped you did nothing! just stopped riding
him,

You stopped 4.5 times.. the half was a stop but not for long. Transfer the
weight to your back pockets to stop the horse or sit deep in the saddle and
release the pressure on his sides. The cues were very subtle
If a horse hangs on the bit and is not supple, it is a problem with the
hind legs, everything that happens up front is a direct result of the hind
quarter, if he doesn’t give he is not bad, or stupid he is physically
unable, ask yourself why. when you have a horse that is uncomfortable in
his body (sore, or a crooked rider for example) and then you force the head
and bump and seesaw and force him to put his head where you want it without
considering his physical needs then you are a poor trainer. If instead you
rode him correctly from behind and placed his hind legs in the correct
position and left his head alone, his head would fall to where you need it
without all the big bits and jabbing in the jaw.
you actually stopped him 3 times by not driving him forward, he thought
about stopping once in the beginning but you continued to drive him
forward. When you want the stop, you stopped riding.
As I watched you I counted three stops. Cues that I saw posture deep in the
saddle no leg and a pull and release with your reins. My horse doesn’t
always respond the first time I have to repeat pull and release.
Thanks for the great video, there is always more to learn it seems.
You relaxed your body, and stopped riding. I didn’t actually see you do
this but I believe you also closed your fingers – so you are literally
riding the horse with your finger tips.
Great video and very well trained horse. You released your leg pressure and
relaxed in the seat, sitting deep in the saddle as to let the horse know
you were done riding for a few seconds. also you would open your hands and
take a little pressure off the reins
Dear Mr. Trochanter your beautiful horse stopped because you stopped
riding: Your body is not telling your horse to move forward. I started my
horse with your technique and he stops when I stop with no reins. Hope this
is right:-)
Hi Larry, thanks again for a very informative video. Having watched the
video I think you stopped the horse 4 times predominately by relaxing the
pressure of your legs on the horse, once I think you also relaxed your body
and sat on your pockets as an additional cue. Again, thanks for the video
they are always appreciated. Denis Humphreys Tamworth NSW Australia.
Looks like you gave a cue with both leg against the horse to brings his
hind legs under him so he would stop on his hind end and just stopped
moving your own body.
I thought I saw 6 stops…including the ones during the initial supple
exercises. Best I could tell was you sat deeper, maybe relaxed your legs.
Thanks for the free video!

Hi Larry, not sure if the stop during the supple exercise counts but here
are the two that I counted…
stops and cues
1 – 1min 17secs
relax seat and release all drive pressure
2 – 2mins 40
relax seat, light pressure on mouth

I believe you stopped 7 times. You used your feet by squeezing to go and
releasing to stop. Several of you’re stops were very short but there was a
break in stride.
So I got overzealous and typed my answer on the “comments” on your website.
Haha oops. Anyways here it is again:
I saw 3 full stops. The first “stop” doesn’t count because you’re still
asking for lateral flexion even though the horse isn’t travelling forward.
When you asked for the stop your body relaxed and you lowered your hands…
You “quit riding him”. 🙂

View this training video and pay attention to the number of times I STOP
this horse.
Watch closely and see if you can detect HOW I asked this horse to stop.
What cues did I use?
Type your answer below the video in the “Comments”. Don’t worry, I
won’t criticize if you get it wrong.
I’m just interested to see how many folks get it right. Thanks for
participating. I’m looking forward to your answer.

I wish you guys would show the bits you use on your horse.. from when you
1st start breaking them.
Becky McDougall
great video but I do have one question.. how do you tie the knot in the
tail?
RAUL H RINCON
I believe you dont stop that horse, he did it by his own , thats my
opinion. thanks

4 times, you sat deep in the saddle, stopped actively riding and your left
hand settled on his withers.
John mannebach Horsemanship
You dropped your heels and stopped asking for forward movement.

Beth Kroetsch
You are asking your horse to stop with your seat. When your seat stops
moving and becomes heavy he will stop.
William Pointer
Shifting forward momentum to a slight resistance. Horse since your “seat
change”. That is the que to stop.

Stopped 4 times when you stopped riding. Thanks for the help with
lightness. Good stuff

Great video and very well trained horse. You released your leg pressure and

you were done riding for a few seconds. also you would open your hands and

Shane Marsh
I saw you ask for the stop three times queing him by dropping your hand to
his wither releasing all the pressure, Tim
Michael Maust
Turn your toes in and release leg pressure
Heather D
Looks like you stopped 4 times, and you quit riding/relaxed your seat/body
to get the stop. Also I did notice you lowered you reins. Nice!
Mark Hartman
Four stops. The first was a combination of a one rein stop and you quit
riding. The other three stops were you just quit riding him.

You stopped riding. Relaxed your seat and legs. It appears you also
dropped your reins slightly.
Laura Sager
I wish you could come to the east coast. Love your training style, love
your videos; would be nice to experience it in 3D with instant feedback.
Wendy Stone
Hey Larry, great video. You stopped him 4 times by stopping riding by
sitting relaxed and deep in the saddle.
captainbill737
Horse is trained to read your seat. When you quit riding he shuts down.
Bob Majaury
Five stops. You stopped riding and relaxed everything. Well trained horse!

I believe you stopped him 5 times, relaxing your legs and by just stopping
your energy.
Kati Wilson
It looks to me like you release the spurs and relax your legs while you
sit.

I believe you stopped him 5 times. It looked as if you took your legs off
of him to stop.
kdskjerve
You quit riding him, and sit down in the saddle
Kevin Manker
4 times. the first thing you did was quit riding him. Then you bumped with
the reins to remind him to stop
