I was wondering if you typically ride your horse's in training on a lunge line and if you have any saftey tips that goes along with. I have had a little experience riding on a lunge line while training colts and had a pretty good turn out just wondering if you always practice this or if it was just for the video. Dear Larry,

You can have 10 grand in training and the horse just hits a wall. It happened to me on a horse I had in reining training. Unfortunately, It takes time and a lot of money. I have seen people drop 20 k on a colt and 10 months or training just to have the horse flunk out. This leads me to the lesson I have learned. ( Most lessons worth learning usually cost money.) Here it is. Buy a horse that has a Dam and Sire that has a proven track record in the event you want to show in. Multiple event horses are very few and far between. Horse like Smart Chick OLena and Smart Little Lena, Smart Whiskey Doc do not come along very often. But there are things you can do to help. Its called spend the money..... And another mistake is someone who breeds a good stud to a very poor mare thinking the stud will compensate for the lack of good conformation in the mare. Sorry folks. Your wasting your money. A good brood mare with a proven show record is hard to find or very expensive, Why? Because all the other breeders who have established themselves already have them or will pay the big bucks to have then in they're herd. These people know horses and a good mare gets sold fast. So, word from the wise. I have spent the big bucks and lost out on horses that I have made purchase mistakes on. Do your home work, Buy at a Futurity sale or at a breeders sale. Call the AQHA , NRHA, NCHA or NRCHA and get the record on the Dam and the Sires performance record what you want to buy. And then pray some jerk trainer doesn't take rock grinders and sours you horse or pushes the horse so bad it becomes resentful and mean. Buy insurance. Be prepared to have some huge vet bills. Not to mention the supplements, rehab therapy , chiropractor. Farrier, 12 TO 18 thousand for training and the cost associated with Shows, hauling, trainers show fees, cattle fees ect. The list goes on and on. Thanks, Tom Larry,

Nice looking horse really takes a nice long step in a groung covering walk. He is taking right to those turns on the fence for you. I'd send my mare to you in a heartbeat. She needs a tune up. I rode her five times this year due to breaking my ankle in Sept and getting back surgery in Dec 2010. I'm broke because of these surgerys lol. Thanks for your e-mails anyways. My mare would get a kick out of the cow work I bet. She is a Paso Fino I raised myself and ride western on and trails thanks again. Joy Just watched the vids of the paint Smoke.

I have a great little mare, and she got ridden about an hour a day every other day when she was started. I recently got her home and she is being ornery and wanting to "quit" on me after a short ride. I will be putting her back on a daily training course to get ready to go to the stock shows and I needed to regroup and remind myself about where she is. I read, listened and watched this morning for a training session. Thank you.

I'm referring to a horse being worked on cattle 3 to 5 days per week. The training techniques for ranch sorting or penning is pretty much the same as for cutting with only a few minor variations.
