What I believe about you.
Hi… Larry Trocha here.
I believe you came to this website for a specific reason.
More than likely, you're looking for a solution to improve your horse's performance or improve your horse training skills.
Either, you want to fix a behavior problem (bucking, rearing, kicking etc) or you're looking to take your horse to a higher level of training (reining, cutting, cow horse etc).
No matter what your reason… I'm glad you found your way to my website.
My reason for being here.
I started my horse training business in 1980.
Competing in AQHA and NCHA competition, I've done well in reining, cow horse and cutting (year-end championships, aged-event championships, many time finalist, etc).
I've ridden some really good horses that were "born naturals" and an absolute joy to train.
And I've also had plenty of tough, "problem" horses that were a son-of-a-gun to get trained.
Because of that, I've been able to learn and develop a wide variety of training techniques.
My goal here is to share with you some of the things I've learned that get good results.
This is what troubles me.
It's not their fault… but people have so many misconceptions about horses and horse training, it isn't funny.
They have misconceptions about what's right and what's wrong… what works and what doesn't… what's reality and what's simply an old wives' tale.
They have misconceptions that can be dangerous for the horse owner.
Misconceptions that can make a horse's life MISERABLE.
Misconceptions that can lead to frustration and the feeling of failure.
Even a person who is honestly trying to learn, can end up with the wrong ideas.
He'll watch popular horse training programs on television or he'll study a trainer's DVD series.
Unfortunately, many horse trainers (and clinicians) don't tell people the whole truth.
For some reason, they feel it's necessary to present a less-than-accurate version of what a successful training program actually is.
Most are so afraid of offending somebody, they carefully choose touchy-feely, politically-correct language so as not to step on anybody's toes.
Their training demonstrations are done using horses that respond perfectly. They seldom show how to deal with "difficult" horses that make mistakes or don't cooperate.
As a result, the viewer comes away with a DISTORTED understanding.
It shouldn't be that way!
I believe people need to know the truth… they need to see training that works in the "real world" on "real horses".
What I have to offer.
I've produced an entire set of DVDs that I feel do a good job of showing how to train a horse.
Videos that show how to start colts or re-train older horses.
Videos for training cutting horses, reining horses, reined cow horses and more.
Each DVD goes into great detail.
I explain exactly what you need to do… step-by-step… in PLAIN ENGLISH.
The instructions are easy to understand, direct and to the point.
For the demonstrations, I did NOT use the best horses in the barn. I used horses that make MISTAKES.
I did that so you can see how to CORRECT the mistakes.
I should point out, the methods demonstrated in the videos are not the only way to train a horse but they're a very good way.
A way that has proven to work well for me, on a wide variety of horses.
By the way, in each DVD, I also cover extensive training for the RIDER.
No horse will perform well if the person on his back doesn't use their hands, legs and seat correctly.
What it'll do for you.
Bottom line, my training videos will help you get great results!
And if you have a half-way decent-minded horse, you'll get those results really fast.
Would you like to see an example?
Watch the video clip on the Home Page about stopping and backing a horse.
It's a good example of the kind of instruction you'll get in all my DVDs.
What I want you to do.
The FIRST thing is to subscribe to my Horse Training Tips Insider (did I mention it's free).
Why?
Because you'll receive top-notch training information within a few minutes of signing up.
Information that is so good, you'll wonder why I'm not charging for it. (I'm not exaggerating, just look at all the comments at the bottom of the Home Page)
If you're unsure if it's the right thing for you to do, then answer this simple question…
Do you want to improve your horsemanship and training skills or not?
If your answer is "NOT"… that's fine. But you may as well leave now because that's what this entire website is about.
If your answer is "YES"… then good. Join me and let's get started.
The SECOND thing you should do is take a look at my Horse Training DVDs and pick out the ones that best suit your needs.
I recommend you order one of the DVD "PACKAGES" as they offer the best value at a discounted price.
Good luck with training your horse.

Success Story!
I have to admit your videos have helped me tremendously. Before I purchased them I used to ask the “top hands” in my area how they put such a good handle on their colts. They usually couldn’t tell me because they really didn’t know how to explain their secrets. Now, after studying the Larry Trocha videos, some of the top hands are asking "me" how I’m doing it and giving me compliments about how well my horses are handling. Thanks Larry!

ConnieThree months ago I bought a beautiful quater horse. He is 8-9 years old. He rides very well and learn very fast. He is still green and I don't have a lot of experience with horses. For tree years I had a trainner once a week who taugh me how to ride, how to take care of it, ground manners etc. The horse had challenged me as all horses do and I had passed the test, but now a new issue appered. When we are in the ground he is great and then when I ride him he starts walking and then he stops. He doesn't want to move. He didn't do that before. I checked the saddle, the bit everything to see if something is put wrong or to see if he is in pain some where. Everything looks fine. So I get my trainning stick in my hand when he doesn't want to move and I ride him and he does perfect. I don't even touch him. I am tranning for 45 minutes or less. This happens at the beginning of our time, so is not that he is tired. What am I doing wrong? Is he challenging me? Do you have a video of trainning with this type of behavior?
Thanks
KarinaI recently bought my first Horse and am Having some troubles with his respect towards me. How are some ways that I can get him to Trust and respect me?

maddieDear Larry,
My horse had a pretty supple mouth and I was riding her without any problems thanks to you. But last week I was sick all week and could not ride her. When i got on her a few days ago she had a lot of energy and was responding to my hands, seat or legs as well as usual, ive always used spurs but now when i press them on her she bucks and wont stop until I let her stop, I cantget her into the canter and once i finally do she runs around i cant get her to slow down! this has happened 3 days in a row so I dont think it's she has extra energy anymore, please help!

Tom Boyle@maddie:
Maddie,
Cut the grain. Hay only. Move her feet in the round pen loping about two laps each way. Make her turn into you by taking a couple steps back wards and then in front of her shoulder. She will probably turn her butt to you. If she does this do not let her get away with it. Turn her back the other way in the same direction she was going. And turn her again. Make sure it is into you. BACK UP AND STEP IN FRONT OF HER.When she turns correctly and faces you. Give her a good girl and a little rest. Do not pet her. Go the other way after she has had a 20 sec rest. What you are doing is establishing you are the hurd leader again. And making sure she respects you by putting her eyes on you, Make her lope. trot and walk. ( make sure you say behind her shoulder or she will not move forward) . Use a whip to motivate her to move her feet make sure you smooch and cluck before you crack the wipe or spank. Let the whip go to the ground after she turns several times correctly. Walk up to her indirectly not facing her but side ways. Turn your back to her and walk away. If she follows you she is being submissive to your leadership. Do this for a couple days before you ride her and she should come back to a submissive state of mind.
You do not use spurs to make a horse go forward. Spurs are to make the horse soft on the sides or to lift them up into collection. You squeese with your legs and smooch to mke them change gates, Using a spur to make them go will make your horse resent you and makes the horse hard sided . Why dont you take your spurs off until you learn how to use them. A spur is to be rolled in timing with the horses gate to lift the horses back or they are rolled in the side ( not kicked or stabbed) to make the horse come off your leg and get soft in the sides. You need to have someone teach you to use a spur because your screwing up your horse, Go take a riding lesson Until you understand horsemanship at advanced levels you should refrain from using spurs your going to do more harm.
To get forward momentum you spank the rear with the rein after you smooch, and then squeeze with your legs. If the horse does not move for ward then. Spank.with the rein on the rump.
Getting your horse not to trott or lope when your not asking for it comes from doing one rein stops. If you want a walk smooch first, squeeze the ribs and move your hips forward to help sigal the horse to move. If the horse tries to stop squeeze and smooch, It the horse tries to trot before you ask pull the horses head around to a one rein stop. Each time the horse tried to get ahead of you you correct the with a one rein stop. In 20 min your horse will not want to move before you because it would rather listen that do the one rein stop.
I would advise you to go take some riding lessons before you get hurt or mess up your horse. I am not trying to be mean but you have no idea about basic horsemanship. You should know this very basic stuff before you try to teach a horse anything.
Thanks,
Tom
