Cutting & Reining Horse Trainer,
Larry Trocha
Hi, I’m Larry Trocha.
Training cutting, reining and working cow horses is my specialty.
If you’d like to know how to teach your horse to stop, spin, rollback, change leads, work cattle or correct bad behavior problems… you’ve come to the right place.
IMPORTANT NOTE #1:
In many of my videos, I show a variety of horses being trained… some good… some bad. Most are your “average” kind of horse.
However, some of the horses in the demonstrations are much more difficult than the average horse and require training techniques that are more demanding.
I did this on purpose so viewers would have a broad perspective of horse training… ranging from the good-minded, willing horse to the strong-willed, uncooperative horse.
IMPORTANT NOTE #2:
My videos are different than most. Why? Because they are very detailed and show, step by step, how to thoroughly train the horse. I show how the training techniques are actually applied in real life schooling sessions.
In other words, you’ll see horses making mistakes and how to correct those mistakes.
My videos also teach the rider how to use his hands, legs and seat to achieve top performance. The instruction is very thorough, yet easy to understand.
Hi! I have broke a horse myself but she wasn’t as high of caliber or as good as breeding at the 2 year old I purchases this spring. I broke him over the summer and he is turning out really nice. He lopes nice slow circles and large circles with a loose rein. He is also doing well on his spins ( slow and steady right now). His stop has always been very natural to him, and we put baby shoes or cowboy sliders on him so it would make it even easier for him to stop and it has! He’s dropping his head and has his butt down. But he stops so abruptly that he can’t make the stop very long. He only takes a few steps with his front feet. I am not sure how to tell him that it is okay for him to take more steps with his front end but keep his butt dropped? Also I watched your video on how to do the trotting spin, But I cannot seem to get him to faster, he just hops. he crosses over nicely but just cant seem to get it faster.
Hi Emma,
It’s difficult for me to help you because your analogy of your horse’s progress contradict each other.
First you say the horse is stopping great… then you follow up with… he’s not stopping that good.
Same with the spin.
You say your horse is crossing over great… but then you follow up with… the horse hops in the spin… which indicates he’s not crossing over great.
I’d like to help you but your descriptions of the horse’s performance seem to make no sense.
You are welcome to upload a video of you working your horse and I’ll be happy to take a look.
Sorry I wrote this very quickly! On his stop he plants his butt and wants to stop and I can get a good foot of slide. But his front legs lock up and don’t release to et him slide further. His spins at a fast walk are very collected but when I ask for the trotting gait he tries and hops when he gets behind. I will get a video to you as well soon.
