Horse Training Tips – Stand Still
Dear Friend and Horseman,
Welcome to another Horse Training Tips Newsletter.
This issue is actually a training video.
In the video, I demonstrate how to teach your horse to stand still so you get on.
Training Your Horse to Stand Still to Mount
Well, this wraps it up for this newsletter. I hope you liked it.
Until next time, have fun training your horse.

Jean DalyTHANKS LARRY GREAT VIDIO ON MOUNTING A HORSE THAT WILL NOT STAND. THANK YOU
CarolJust wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your training tips and videos. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
TerryLarry,
Thanks for your excellent videos I am learning so much from them. In this video you talk about standing while mounting, my horse does a great job of that however does not stand very still when I stop him, he does not walk forward but will turn moving mainly his back feet, will the backing him up work for this problem as well?
MaryseThank you so much! My horse used to race barrel so guess what…I was not even on him and he was gone as he was teached that way of course. Your trick will help me as he is a fast learner really. Am sure after one hour of this he will know, he is 9 years old after all not a yearling, he knows better!
Mary annthank you Larry. We have learned a few things we forgot and needed retraining.
PascaleHi Larry,

Thank-you

Curt BrayfieldI'm taking a horsemanship class at college, and the instructor teaches to stop the horse by saying "whoa", releasing air and essentially slumping in the saddle, exagerating a lack of energy. I see that you use the same cue for backing up, but since you were riding at a lope, and we barely get a chance to break into a trot (too many riders, not enough space in the arena), is that cue used only when the horse is at a lope, or do you use it when walking and trotting too?
KrystalHi Larry,
Thanks for your tips they are very helpful. I make all our horses and ponies stand still when I mount, if they move when I do get on I did just what you said. I am glad to see I am doing something right.
I was getting on one of the children's ponies one day and my husband's friend was here watching me get on, the pony is 10hh. The pony went to walk away so I got off and backed him up. My husbands friend started to laugh at me and said why was I scared of getting on , I said I dont allow my horses to walk while I am getting on as it's bad manners, his reply to that was horseman can get on while they are walking away.
Thank you again for your help.
MaryI am enjoying your information. I am 65 and really a beginner even though we have had horses for 7 yrs. There is so much to learn! I want the best situation for both the horse and myself. The one horse that walks off when I get my foot to the stirrup is really testing me. I have to have a mounting block to get up there, so each time I have to get down to back her. This puts me at a disadvantage. But, I was not using both reins to back her as you showed in the video. I think that will work much better.
It always amazes me that I couldn't come up with such a simple, much better thing to try! That's why I'm the student and you are the teacher!
Thanks!
DawnWhile riding my new mare who is 5 yrs old…dont no how to best describe it but her nose is streched out..instead of collected i think..she wont back up..when i ask she just open's her mouth and wont give her head to back..she has a very nice trot and lope..should i try a different bit..i have a billy allen reining bit with a copper roller..she like chomps on the one she has been using( came with horse)..i just dont think she knows what i want her to do..she is smart horse..and not mean..
Thanks
Dawn
LarryTrocha@Dawn: So Dawn, why haven't you watched the free video clips on my home page?
The answer to your question is answered in those video clips.
If you truly want to improve your horse's performance, you have to improve YOUR performance.
Most horse riders merely WISH instead of ACT.
Are you one of those?
