This is so informative. My husband and I have a Walker we love, but he was originally trained in the rigid manner that you described. He displays all the mannerisms of your featured horse, he can't even think about cantering as he simply doesn't have true body collection or foot control, he looks like a wild daddy long legs when he tries. He is such a good boy, I am eager to use these techniques on him. Starting these amazing horses so quickly and so rigidly appears a commonly accepted practice particularly with gaited breeds, it does them a profound injustice by limiting them so.
Love this series! I just bought my first walker and she hasn't been ridden in a few years. This is exactly what I need to get her going under saddle again.
This video part 2, and part 1 are the two best videos I have ever seen on foundation. Makes so much sense and is easy to understand. Many trainers skip steps or don't explain in a way that is easy for me to understand. I've been working on this for 4 years, with kind caring people who were doing their best. Let's see what happens now. I'm excited to work on all of this.
I would love to have trainers like Larry and Charles available where I live. I guess UA-cam videos will have to do... P.S. Blue, my TWH and my first gaited, is quite grateful that this caliber of training online.
The rider needs to be addressed, too. Her center of gravity is skewed & she's behind the horse's motion in a chair seat. There's no way she'll ever get the horse to engage the hind end until she centers & balances herself & starts following the motion of the horse with her seat. Otherwise she's just blocking his motion.
This is the best lesson for teaching a gaited horse to engage himself that I've ever seen. And I've watched a lot!
Thank you Larry!, You are by far the best with information for all horse people.

This has helped me a great deal since I rescued a couple gaited horses.

I've watched this video at least 6 times, broken it down and applied the techniques. It's working!
+Larry and I great friends and we are happy it working for you.

Thank you for such good and correct training. I will be posting this on my page to share with others. Wonderful and helpful.
Great horsemanship Larry. I just bought a Paso mare. I'm new to the gaited horse world and this was a very helpful video.
Thank you

10 dislikes ? Why because the button is there , I'd love to hear from one of them why !!!!
Fantastic info here.
Probably dislikes from horse people who created the Palominos problems
After you are done with the suppling exercises at the walk can you do them at the gate like a normal trotting horse?

Wonderful!
Ouch. The typo in the title screen of the video. Someone needs a better editor, although I did like the video.
