Horse Training Success Story!
Dear Larry,
Thanks for the e-mail and training tips. Just had to say I'm amazed. After just 10 minutes of reading the horse training tips and watching your free video clips, I could actual see exactly how to stop my horse and get good results.
None of all the books and videos I've ever seen have shown this or made it so obvious.
Thank you once again – I still can't believe I learned so much in such a short space of time.

Larry,
A close relative of mine previosly purchased a 5 year old pony. She is a great pony, but has not been handled for two years. My relative has asked me to work with her, although I am very experienced with horses, I am adaquet with ponies. As of now, she is kept in a round corral. Anytime I go to catch her, she pulls her ears back and runs straight at me. This goes for hours at a time. When I do finally catch her, she constantly is trying to bite and kick me. Do you have any tips on how to catch her? She also has troubles with very basic manuevers (such as stopping, backing up, and turning), I want to soon train her to come to a sliding stop, spins, and etc… Do you have any handling tips for me?
Any tips are greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your time and answers,
-Ashlee

iv had a 3 year old for two weeks and have had an easy time having him listen to directions in the round pin however when i get on him we does not listen to vocal or leg commands we just sit there or he will show he is the leader by throwing his head back to nibble me or we will turn around in circles when he wants to go a different way. i know i am the one with the problem that needs to be trained better at getting the respect of this horse what do i need to do or change to get this horses attention that i am number one in this herd thank you for your time.

Larry,
Just watched your saddle video about cutting and reining saddle specs and wanted to check them out. I cannot find goodsaddle.com on the web.
All the info you have out there is great, well written and I love BLUNT. When I am trying to learn something the blunter the better. Have only been on here less than a week, you are certainly a wealth of information. Thanks so much!

@ike Apolinar: Good to hear from you Ike. Those bits are available on my website. Just go to the navigation bar at the top of this page and click on the "Tack" link.
Also, if cost is an issue, you can skip the Arginine Snaffle and go directly to the Billy Allen bit. That is a really good bit for a lot of horses.
Take care,
Larry T.

Hi Larry,
I have a 7 year old arab/paint mare.She has 6 months reining training as a 3 year old and hasn't done that since. I now do team sorting with her alot. I'm trying to get a few things figured out. I want her to be able to stop a little faster. More on the spot. How do I get this done? Also I want her to stop and turn faster for when we are in the pen with the cows. Any suggestions? One more question. How do I get her to use her hind end more when we are loping? I know this will play a huge factor in the stopping and in the stop and turns.
Thank you!

@Dan M: Hi Dan. Your horse's behavior is common with barrel horses. They act this way because they dread going into the arena. They dread it because of the mental pressure put on them by the rider. Every time they go into the show arena, they are whipped or spurred to run fast. In most cases, they are whipped or spurred even if they are running as fast as they can. Soon the barrel horse associates the arena with unjustified punishment.
I've ridden quite a few barrel horses. Most of them had this problem and most of them I was able to fix.
Here's what needs to happen…
1. You need to let the horse know the arena isn't such a bad place to be. Take the horse in there and don't ask it to do much. Simply play around and let the horse relax. If you are consistent, in a couple weeks, the horse will act much better about entering the arena.
2. In really bad cases, you will need to make it more uncomfortable for the horse OUTSIDE the arena than INSIDE the arena. When the horse refuses to enter the gate, turn it around and LEAVE the gate. Then trot fast, small circles and spank it's butt with a crop. After a few circles, trot back to the gate, stand there and PET the horse. After a couple minutes, ask the horse to enter the arena. If it refuses, trot away from the gate and repeat the circle spanking process.
Keep repeating this until the horse decides to enter the arena on its own. (It may take 20 repetitions). Once it does, REWARD THE HORSE BY PETTING IT AND SIMPLY WALKING AROUND THE ARENA.
Do this and in a few weeks, your horse will be much better.
Unfortunately, most riders are dumber than the horse. What most people do, once the horse decides to enter the arena on it own, the rider works the snot out of the horse, undoing the good that's been done.
Hopefully, you won't make that mistake.
Good luck,
Larry T.

Hi Larry, just wanted to let you know how great your training tips have worked for my daughter and her horse. We are having one problem that just started to happen. My daughter is 12 years old and has had her horse for a little less than a year. This horse is 13 years old and mainly ran barrels her whole life. We have been working alot with the horse to make her into kind of an all around horse (4H showing and horsemanship which does include barrels and poles). Ok so on with the problem we are having. What the horse does is balk before going into the arena she will back up and turn away from the gate, we basically have to pull her into the arena. This only happens when we are at an event with lots of horses and a crowd full of people. I've thought about using a crop. Thanks for any help.
