Comments on: Train Your Horse to Neck Rein http://www.horsetrainingvideos.com Thu, 17 May 2012 13:13:42 -0400 hourly 1 By: Don http://www.horsetrainingvideos.com/neckrein.htm/comment-page-1#comment-19874 Don Mon, 07 Nov 2011 03:00:31 +0000 http://localhost/dev.xintyr.net/sites/horsetrainingvideos1/?page_id=518#comment-19874 I recently, last summer, went to Indiana, and was asked to ride a horse which hadn't been ridden in a year. The horse, a 10 yr old quarter, was barn sour, kept refusing to go on a ride or do anything for the rider except head for the barn. I just kept turning his head, plow reining him, in circles, every time he wanted to head for the barn, until he learned I was the boss, and went where I wanted. I then took him on a long trail ride, through muddy trails and brush. The only problem I had, was I lost a spur, knocked off my boot. I offered to buy the horse, but the owner wouldn't sell him. The horse did great after a couple hours of working him. Just make sure you are firm, but don't lose the trust your horse has in you.

I'm buying property from my mother, and want to get more involved with horses. I would love to train my own, but don't really know how to go about doing it. Could you give me some advice? Hi

If you have trouble, you may want to use a training aid like a German martingale, http://www.horsetrainingvideos.com/german-martingale.htm. Once you have him working well in the snaffle, move on to the curb bit.

I have broke a couple of colts and made good riding horses with a pretty good rein and basic moves such as walk trot, lope and stop and back-up, but that was a very long time ago. I purchased a foal last year and recently have purchased a 6 year old broke gelding. To say I am rusty would be an under statement. The yearling is progressing well as I can do the necessary things like lead, lift the feet, loop a lead rope over the ears etc., as well as have her accept a saddle with no problem. The above was just an introduction, but my question relates to the 6 year old gelding. He is well broke, responds to leg and heal pressure well, but when he is in a lope and I put intermittent pressure on him to ask for a stop he resists by shaking his head and reaching out with his nose. The same horse will flex his chin in and back up with almost no pressure when asked. How can I get him to quit resisting when stopping at a lope? Thank you in advance. Bob Hi Larry,
