I was able to correct a 12 year old horse that was ignoring me on his stops. He stopped big when he was younger. And had a great run down but he was cheating me on the stop. I used the easy stop for about a week and his butts in the ground again and hes giving me big stops again. Awesome tool. Tom Larry,

It's primary function is for "reinforcing" or "amplifying" what the horse already knows. On a horse that knows he's supposed to stop on the word "whoa" but instead ignores the cue or doesn't try very hard, the Easy Stop works great. I wouldn't recommend it be used by a novice rider or used on a green horse. Larry T. @Tom Boyle: Hi Tom, The Easy Stop is NOT for teaching.

As you know the stop is one of the biggest things. The trainer I studied under never used an easy stop he said it was a temp fix ans hard on the horse. Being I no nothing about them I think any tool used by a rider with bad hands is going to mess up a horse, Being said, is this a tool that you use on every colt you train to stop of just a hard to stop horse that tends to want to stop on its front end.? If this is a good soft everyday tool that helps the horse. I am interested in anything that will get gentle results and not a crutch to good horsemanship. I collect a horse and use steep hills you get a colt experienced with setting back on its hocks and using its hind end.This transfers well later to a stop but it takes a while. If this speeds up the process with out hurting the horse. Thanks, Tom Larry,

She used to run around slide stopping on all kinds of surfaces without skid boots or sliders. When I got him he was terribly blown up and would run off and just not fun. I've worked with him for a couple years now and he has turned into an amazing horse to have, he slow lopes, spins nice, lead changes without running through it. Everything seems perfect except his stop, he will definitly stop for me when asked but if I ask for a 'big' stop he slides then hops and slides and he never lets himself slide very far, he maybe pedals once then anchors both front legs. Im afraid this might have been caused by his last owner not using skid boots. Do you think this could help him? I always use protective wear with him! Hi Larry,

Your only problem is that you are an inexperienced rider and you have a green-broke horse. Do I think it's a good combination? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Either you are going to get hurt or you are going to ruin your horse. The fact that you are on this page looking at an Easy Stop (not appropriate for a green horse) tells me you are headed for trouble. Send your horse to a competent professional trainer for 4 to 6 months and take some lessons while the horse is there. Larry T. @Christine: Hi Christine.
