    I really like how you let the horse make mistakes so we can see how you fix the mistakes.
    Thanks for the great tips Larry!

    I absolutely love watching your videos, I’m starting my filly and teaching her the basics of riding, but then I’m going to send her to an experienced cutting trainer. Your videos help me to know what to expect when she comes back from the trainer. Also I’m starting cutting lessons this year, and watching your videos will make it easier for me to learn (like how you really ride the horse forward, and it stops when you stop riding).

    Thank you =)

    You are very welcome.
    Glad my videos are helping you.
    Hearing that, makes it all worth while.
    Good luck with your filly.

    I thought the best method was always tell the horse to go,and if the stop before you say,then tell em to go again. I taught my horses never to stop…… unless i say

    This was really nice to watch!

    I’ve been doing my homework on cutting horses lately. I’ve shown in western pleasure for some time but due to college expense I couldn’t afford horses anymore. It’s been years since I’ve ridden and I miss it like crazy!

    Finally, I have an opportunity to work cutting horses (which I’ve had minimal experience in) and your videos have been immensely helpful! Hope I’m not too rusty!

    Thank you for the help!

    God bless you and your horses.

    These are great videos! Thank you for the introduction to Cutting. I have a close friend who purchased a very spoiled gelding, who at one time trained as a cutting horse. Several years of getting away with murder with novice riders has covered up the training, but I knew the moment I started riding him he had quality training. The only problem was uncovering it. The more and more I ride him the more cobwebs are cleaned out. I know with a adv. cutting rider he’d probably remember all of it.

  12. obscuredmelody says:

    Last weekend I rode him and got a taste of how he really handles. While softening up his body and refining cues I discovered and he rediscovered rollbacks and spins. It was really amazing to feel the transformation. At the beginning of the ride he was high-necked, hollowed back, and choppy stride. Near the end of the ride he was really trying to work off his hindquarters. His owner was shocked. I can’t wait how he feels when he’s conditioned.

    good

    Hi Larry, Thank you for sharing what you discovered thru many wet saddle blankets and from good horsemen/women along your journey. I have been blessed to ride these marvelous animals with good trainers but not until I discovered your training videos have I been able to add up and organize all of the information that I have gathered along the way. With cutters, why does the front leg cross behind so often when turned around? What is the trainer after with all the loping before competing?

  15. ltrocha says:

    Hi pegdiana,
    A cutting horse usually crosses “under” on the turnarounds because they get backed up a few steps before they turn.

    The loping is to get them good and warmed up to try and prevent pulled mucsles and to get the “fresh” off them so they work instead of play.

  17. semtech30 says:

    Give us more on bit types, purposes and when to use them. I can’t find a vid here.
    I know you did one once.
    I found it quite important.
    i’m on the transition bit and doing great.
    Thanks.

    Hey Larry. I have a four-year old Quarter mare that I just recently put on cows for the first time. I’ve noticed a lot since then and after watching this video that she could be a lot more responsive. Are there any specific exercises you do with your youngsters I could try? Very nice horse by the way. (:
