Hi SuperGarbe,
Bev told me to say “Hey” to you too.
Good to hear from you.
Take care,
Larry T.
This is a great video! It really ties Part 1 and Part 2 together and gives me some things to work on with my Mustang! Thanks!
I relly enjoyed the video as I am a visiual person more than audio. Larry you make training a joy. I always see results. I learned much more about spinning. I can do this.Seeing you demonsrate the technique is super. It is not always easy to get the timing down, it takes practice. I do have a number of your videos and they are very easy to understand.
Thanks,
Keith J
Really informative video – not an amateur rider, but new to reining and trying to learn pretty much everything I can because I’ve fallen in love with the sport. Awesome videos for breaking down the spin!
Glad you liked it, X.

Wow, thank you so much!! I can see where I’ve been making mistakes in teaching my mare spin. We’ll definately go back to square one and work on suppling up a lot more before attempting any more spins. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
You are welcome, RockyBlue.
I’m glad it was helpful.

Your videos are GODSENT. I am a self-trained western rider (primarily english), and your videos are helping so much with my reining skills. I had the problem with holding too steadily with the reins (a big dressage habit) and asking for my horse to go at the wrong time, so I ended up with a really hoppy spin. I’m going to practice all the things in your videos. It’s going to be very helpful to me at the Extreme Cowboy World Champs! Thanks for sharing. xD
I’m glad you liked it, X.
Good luck in the Extreme Cowboy competition.
Let me know how it goes.

This is fantastic help thank you so much i have a non pro horse in the UK i am not a finished rider by any means. this is really helpfull in making sure im asking correctly. We have a few good trainers here and im loving the sport but i have more horse than rider at the moment as my video shows lol!
Good to hear from you Keith.
I’m glad you’re happy with my DVDs.
Makes my work worthwhile.
Thanks a bunch.

Hi I have a previous cutting trained mare that was a brood mare to 10 years and I want to get her into reining. When I first got her she would spin now they’re not as fast or as smooth as they once were do you have any advice on how to fix this?
I sent my horse to a “reining trainer” for six months. To say the least, I was NOT impressed. Anyway, I watched your video and I got her start turn on her hind quarters in 5 days just from watching Part of this series! Your video is very clear, and the sound quality is great! Its not scratchy or windy at all.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you so much! Your videos are the ONLY training videos I will watch! Also, so you have a video of how to teach a horse to come to a sliding stop?
You are welcome, SHL.
Yes, I have two DVDs on stopping and if sliding stops are your goal, I recommend getting them both.
Larry T.
I am looking into getting your german martingale and the Easy Stop products. Would there be anyway you could send me a video(s) if I purchase those two items?
Wow you are amazing! I hope i can do this as well when i get older
Your videos are very well done and you explain everything very nicely! You are very inspiring and I am so happy that i found these videos. I am going to keep watching more and find things that i have been doing wrong
This spinning video i’m sure will help a ton with my mare i can’t wait to try these things. She has a lazy personality but if i do these right i know she can be respectful
Thank you Larry Trocha!!
Very good explanation!!!
I’ll try it over 1 months. At this moment my horse has a little bit of rest, but we’ll start next week to work on his condition.
If I have questions I’ll ask you!
Is this even possible in a snaffle bit? Thanks, and these videos are SO enlightening. Your ability to communicate an idea and properly give instruction is stellar.
Thanks,
Liz
@esaunders07 Hi Liz, Glad you like the info. Yes, most of this training should be done in a snaffle bit. Once the horse has a good understanding of what to do, then you can move up to a transition bit or a curb bit.

Hi Larry
I constantly keep learning from your tips
I have a question not really related to spins though (but this was so informitive i can’t wait to teach my little one). My little horse has a really nice stop, gets his butt under him and really stops fast, wont take more than a step after i’ve said whoa. A few times he’s slide a couple feet as well, though i know this isn’t good cause i’d hate for him to burn his bulbs. So my question is should I put baby sliders on him in order to allow him to slide a bit and to start teaching him to slide?
@GlompoFie, if I had a barefoot reining horse prospect that was starting to slide, I’d probably shoe him behind with a 3/4″ plate and short trailers that did not extend past the bulbs of the foot.
Larry T.
@ltrocha Awesome, thank you =)
My horse has gotten his bit teeth taken out and cant were a snaffle is it ok to do it with a hacamore? and he’s getting old he is about 21 years old can i slide stop him and spin him still without hurting him?
Very well done Larry — very clearly explained and performed beautifully! Thank you!
