@gabe: Hi Gabe. In general foundation training, you teach the horse everything at once. When it's time to get serious about the maneuvers, you refine the spin first. If you teach the horse to stop hard before he knows how to spin correctly, he'll have a tendency to suck-back too much and cross under instead of crossing over.
Good luck with your colt.

Hi Larry I've been watching your videos and I'm so interested in training my 3 year old colt, that I have a question. What is more important to teach first, how to spin or how to stop light and collected? Thank you for your tips and keep up the hard work thank you so much Gabe

Hi Mr Trocha,
Since two days I read your newsletters and find them very interersting,I would like to buy you some video to improve my way to ride because I live in Charlevoix (Québec) and don't have any trainers to help me improve my skills in western riding.
It been now 17 years I ride (since the age of 10) and I'm very interested by learning some way to ride or perform with my horse and achieve my big dream I never achieve:Do competition in reining with my own horse…I already did some competition in Barrel racing but my preference is doing reining or maybe I would like to try doing some cutting.
There's maybe two little(or big) problems…The first one is that I have two young horses one of three years old and the other one of two years old…Both are just begining to wirk with somebody on them and they are doing pretty well!It's not the first time I start a young horse but its the first time I do it alone,and maybe I don't want to do mistake.So I would like to know what is the first exercices you do with your horses and would like to practice it.
The second problem is I would like to buy you video to improve my skills because I find evreything you say pretty well but I don't have any credit card and don't want to.I'll be able able to pay you with money but I don't know if there's some other way to pay you for your video or maybe I'll ask to my mom to pay the video with their own credit card but I know she don't like to put her credit card number on internet….So it will be hard to convince her to put her credit card number on internet…Maybe its possible to pay you by mailing cheks???
I'll wait for your answer and thank to take time to respond for my letter.
