One of my horses stiffens his jaw when I pull his head around and acts like he will go over backwards with me. I sure will try the pull and release method. I’ll let you know how this works.
Great videos! Watching your videos really helps me explain things to my customers. I try to have them watch them also then we work on and talk about what they watched and how we need to work with their horse. Thanks for all you do.
You are very welcome, Shannon.
It’s nice to know people are getting some good from the videos.

Yes with every horse I sell I give them the link to your youtube page and your website. Even if all they do is read the tips and watch the videos on youtube it helps them. I get so many great nice people with no horse common sense, it’s scary. I tend to worry more about the horses than the people but your info helps them understand what the riders responsibilities are that they are more than just a passenger. Shannan
The horse must listen to it’s rider.
The only way to stay safe and confident.
Good Tips larry!
My horse is my perfect ride because of your Vid’s. Thanks again.
Larry`s the coolest dude! He really knows how to talk to you on different levels.
Ha-Ha!! Near the end, it looked like the horse had the hang of it and thought of it as a game. A bit of cutting motion, there, too. I’m about to take a HUGE trip, for the summer, to a riding place in Montana, and I want to know that I’m a little prepared for what could happen. I feel alot more confident now!!
Thanks so much!!

um, will this still work with a very spooky barrel horse that only works off of direct reining?
Looks to me like the horse is afraid to move forward for fear of getting his head snatch at.
@ritzydoodle Duh… yeah we’re doing a demonstration here.

Hi Larry
My horse side steps to try to get away from whatever is spooking him, like when Im riding on the road he will randomly stick his hind end out in the road and no matter how much i kick him and try to get him over to the side he gets frustrated, bucks, rears and side steps. I have not tried using spurs or a whip yet, but what else would your suggestion be?
just ordered your videos Larry, I love your newsletter, and am really enjoying training my colt using your tips and no-nonsense approach.
This is so helpful, I have a habitual spooker and this really helped. These spooky guys can be scary!
@jodiehorserider, I’m so glad my video was able to help. Give it a try and good luck.

@jodiehorserider , Hi Jodie. Good to hear from you and thanks for getting my DVDs. I appreciate it.

Is it possible to get control of a horse that spooks at everything, or spooks because he knows it will get me off his back? He gives laterally and vertically, but even then he still goes forward.
quick question- do you have to tell the horse ‘good’ or anything like a dog?
@BerlinTheShepherd I know I kinda sound stupid
@BerlinTheShepherd No, you do not sound stupid. You are just wanting to learn and everybody has to start somewhere.
Larry T.
@BerlinTheShepherd For most horses, the release of pressure is enough reward to get them to try. However, a pat on the neck and a “good boy” can definitely help.

@ltrocha thank you
I have a question for ya, I have a 7 year old QH pain gelding. He has been giving me issues with turning right. He turns left fine but if I go to turn him right (neck rein) he goes to throwing his head around and stomping throwing a hissy fit. I am a female and I’m wondering if he feels he can push me around because of it. He behaves much better for males. Why is that?
@tooblvr4ever LOL PAINT* gelding… I guess sometimes he can be a pain tho jk
im training a 2 year old stallion right now who is very lazy that get after him, i mean it, black and white stuff is rely working.
and if your horse bucks when you do that to him then he is not broke enough! Good luck to everyone!
