Congratulations on getting your horse to do flying lead changes. That in itself is a note worthy accomplishment. Horses will kick out during a change for two possible reasons. #1. The rider is using more spur pressure than necessary for the horse to understand and the heavy cue is making the horse angry. The horse is kicking out saying... Okay, I get it... I'm supposed to change... Please be lighter with your cue. #2. The horse is simply being disrespectful and resents the cue to change. Do more work on getting the horse to move his hips over off your leg or spur. Any show of resentment should be met with a rowel raked up the horse's side or a spanking. A couple of applications should be enough to change the horse's mind. Larry T. @Lori: Hi Lori. Congratulations on getting your horse to do flying lead changes.

She always changes but not with out a good solid kick. Please help! I am hoping to build a horse farm and be a horse trainer also when I am old enough but I could never do that if I can't even teach a horse lead changes!

I don't know how to fix this at all. I need her to pick up the right lead every time we lop/canter. We are trying to move at fast speeds but I don't know how to change this. Another thing is how do you teach your horse to do flying lead changes on its own?

Back out to the training pen I go. Working on a Thoroughbred who has been on his left lead his whole life, and the right is causing me some serious grief. This isn't the first time I've put leads on a horse, but I think I will focus more on keeping control of the hip on him. Thanks for your tips. Always timely! Good ideas.

I don't have an arena, so I just used the pasture fence. Thanks for all of the help.
