Larry Trocha
Hi – I'm Larry Trocha.
Over many years working with cutting, reining and working cow horses, I've developed a successful training program designed to teach horses to stop, spin, rollback, change leads and work cattle.
I am happy to share this specialized knowledge with you through my series of Horse Training DVDs and free Horse Training Tips Insider.
What I believe about you.
I believe you came to this website for a specific reason.
More than likely, you're looking for a solution to improve your horse's performance or improve your horse training skills.
Either, you want to fix a behavior problem (bucking, rearing, kicking etc) or you're looking to take your horse to a higher level of training (reining, cutting, cow horse etc).
No matter what your reason… I'm glad you found your way to my website.
My reason for being here.
I started my horse training business in 1980.
Competing in AQHA and NCHA competition, I've done well in reining, cow horse and cutting (year-end championships, aged-event championships, many time finalist, etc).
I've ridden some really good horses that were "born naturals" and an absolute joy to train.
And I've also had plenty of "problem" horses that were a son-of-a-gun to get trained.
Because of that, I've been able to learn and develop a wide variety of training techniques.
My goal here is to share with you some of the things I've learned that get good results.
This is what troubles me.
It's not their fault… but people have so many misconceptions about horses and horse training, it isn't funny.
They have misconceptions about what's right and what's wrong… what works and what doesn't… what's reality and what's simply an old wives' tale.
They have misconceptions that can be dangerous for the horse owner.
Misconceptions that can make a horse's life MISERABLE.
Misconceptions that can lead to frustration and the feeling of failure.
Even a person who is honestly trying to learn, can end up with the wrong ideas.
He'll watch popular horse training programs on television or he'll study a trainer's DVD series.
Unfortunately, many horse trainers (and clinicians) don't tell people the whole truth.
For some reason, they feel it's necessary to present a less-than-accurate version of what a successful training program actually is.
Most are so afraid of offending somebody, they carefully choose touchy-feely, politically-correct language so as not to step on anybody's toes.
Their training demonstrations are done using horses that respond perfectly. They seldom show how to deal with "difficult" horses that make mistakes or don't cooperate.
As a result, the viewer comes away with a DISTORTED understanding.
It shouldn't be that way!
I believe people need to know the truth… they need to see training that works in the "real world" on "real horses".
What I have to offer.
I've produced an entire set of DVDs that I feel do a good job of showing how to train a horse.
Videos that show how to start colts or re-train older horses.
Videos for training cutting horses, reining horses, reined cow horses and more.
Each DVD goes into great detail.
I explain exactly what you need to do… step-by-step… in PLAIN ENGLISH.
The instructions are easy to understand, direct and to the point.
I should point out, the methods demonstrated in the videos are not the only way to train a horse but they're a very good way.
A way that has proven to work well for me, on a wide variety of horses.
By the way, in each DVD, I also cover extensive training for the RIDER.
No horse will perform well if the person on his back doesn't use their hands, legs and seat correctly.
What it'll do for you.
Bottom line, my training videos will help you get great results!
And if you have a half-way decent-minded horse, you'll get those results really fast.
Would you like to see an example?
Watch the video clip on the Home page about stopping and backing a horse.
It's a good example of the kind of instruction you'll get in ALL my DVDs.
What I want you to do.
The FIRST thing is to subscribe to my Horse Training Tips Insider (did I mention it's free).
Why?
Because you'll receive top-notch training information within a few minutes of signing up.
Information that is so good, you'll wonder why I'm not charging for it. (I'm not exaggerating, just look at all the comments at the bottom of this page)
If you're unsure if it's the right thing for you to do, then answer this simple question…
Do you want to improve your horsemanship and training skills or not?
If your answer is "NOT"… that's fine. But you may as well leave now because that's what this entire website is about.
If your answer is "YES"… then good. Join me and let's get started.
The SECOND thing you should do is take a look at my Horse Training DVDs and pick out the ones that best suit your needs.
I recommend you order one of the DVD "PACKAGES" as they offer the best value at a discounted price.
Good luck with training your horse.

Julia SchroderHi Larry,
My name is Julia and I'm only 16. I have been riding for a slim 5 years and I am leasing for the first time. I am his prime care-taker and I love him to death. He hadn't been worked with consistantly until I found him. It's been about four months now, and I'm gettingg very frustrated. He has good ground manners and is a sweetheart, but when I ride him he gets quite speedy considering I always lunge him before a ride just incase. He always just randomly stops too, how do I tell him that it's not acceptable? Lastly, I cannot get him to collect in canter, and down the long side he gets extremely quick and then tosses his head when I try to half halt. He does not respect my steering either when I try to canter him, it's almost as if it may as well not be there. Thanks so much for any advice you can give me.

alberto pinoHi Larry.
I am from Ecuador,South America,and I am training my horses for the first time following your videos.I have a young stallion that is doing pretty well but when I ask him to change leads he kicks up his rear legs.He does change leads but because of this kicking up,it is not a pretty change.I follow your instructions and Mark Sheridan´s but now I am not sure if I am doing things right.I would like to hear your thoughts and how to correct this.
Thanks and best regards.

Deborah AllenHi Larry,
I have been trying to email you but it kept bouncing back as the wrong email address. Anyway I have a problem, I have a 4 year old that has started leaning and getting very heavy in my hands. What can I do to lighten him up.
Makayla gaddisLarry,
My name is makayla and I'm 14 years old. I have recently got a new horse and I believe he was a line horse out in the west. He is really fast and I'm trying to teach him to collect his head and become slower. Any tips or exercise I should use? I would really appreciate it.
Sincerely makayla Gaddis
Kirsteen HaleyLarry ,
Have you shown in reining classes or do you just train reiners . I have some of your videos and I was recently criticised by someone who says you have never shown a reiner and I should be learning from someone that does it . I am content with what I have learned from your videos but feel a little stupid since this person called me out like this on a public site .
Kirsteen Haley
LarryTrocha@Kirsteen Haley: Hi Kirsteen. I normally wouldn't bother responding to a comment like yours but you seem so distressed I felt I should.
First, keep in mind that most people who hand out criticism on those websites, don't know much.
That's why they post anonymously… so nobody knows their real name or can check up on their actual experience.
These type of people simply like to talk big and that's about the extent of it.
Go to youtube and read the comments. Every negative commenter there, claims to be an expert. If you check up on them, you find out most are clueless.
Secondly, I not only have shown reiners… I've won year-end championships in that discipline.
And… so have some of my non-pros.
For about 6 years straight, we hit the AQHA and WCHA reining shows pretty consistently here in California.
The past several years, I haven't bothered showing in reining classes as my focus is primarily cutting horses these days.
Of course, that could change soon as I currently have a couple reining horses in training.
Thirdly, if you are getting good results following the instruction in my videos, why do you care what other people say?
So, I hope this info makes you feel better but you really need to handle your critics with more confidence.
Take care,
Larry T.
