I've had success with certain horses by loping them "shoulder in" and "shoulder out". The rider should first be able to do this comfortably with complete control at the trot. I start with shoulder out and maintain this posture until the horse rates AND softens. When they do, I release and let them lope. If they speed up again, I simply repeat. I alternate between the two and if the horse has a more difficult time in or out, I spend more time on that side. Hope this makes sense and helps. Frank ps. Thank you for graciously sharing tips from you knowledge and experience. Mr. Trocha,

(in the pleasure classes).. It has been my observation that the horses that "self collect" are usually the high placers in any given pleasure class.. These horses seem to collect themselves up as the Amateurs and Novice Amateurs get on them at the in-gate.... If Im lucky enough to see 3 of these coming into the gate in a Western Pleasure class, I can concentrate on them with the camera, and usually get good action shots of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (the ones most likely to get the photos purchased).. It doesn't always work (sometimes the rider will screw it up by "fixing" a horse that doesn't need it, right in front of the judge). It works often enough that i sell more photos of "Winners" than I did before I observed this... I learned to watch for it from your videos and your news letter.. I thought I would point out that a real bunch of the stuff you say and do is applicable in the pleasure classes As a photographer, in the ring, with the horses and the judges, I usually try to pick the placings myself..

I have a 2 year old Missouri Fox Trotter my question is he loads great in the 2 horse bumper pull trailer (step up) but for the life of me I can not get him to back out of it.But on the ground he backs up fine.After several tries of trying to get him out We end up taking the divider out and he turns around and comes out great but he is growing like a weed and I want to nip this in the butt now. I would love for any help that you can give me. Sincerely, Lori Mr. Trocha,
