The you tube algorithm has your videos popping up. I'm a 73 year old who owns TWH's for pointing dog field trials, elk hunting, and trail riding. All of my horses have been in a bridle with shanked curb bit. So, the single rein stop is not something I do. For the most part, I cue them with my seat. If I want them to stow down or stop, I rotate my hips, and my legs move forward a few inches. I do that before the reins get picked up. It only takes picking up the reins gently after that to bring them to a stop. My long term goal with each horse is to use my body more and the bridle less, to have them soft and obedient. The primary use of my reins is to cue the horse to get in a collected frame, or let them extend their frame. Have a good one.
Thank you for this video. Simple, to the point, and covered multiple exercises. I've owned an 11 yo TWH mare for about a year, and while she was advertised as "not spooky, been there done that trail horse" before I bought her, she ended up being one of the most reactive, nervous horses I have ever seen. She can be terribly herd-bound and buddy-sour. She spooked so hard the other day that I finally came off. I making it a point to go back to these basics and see where I get with her.
its the only thing you can do and dont push let him come it i guess i need to a vedio on buying horses i just had a lady call and talk with me and it was pretty much the same problem
Circle driving. Interesting concept. Absolutely agree with teaching a horse to reverse. It can be a lifesaver in some situations. I always teach horses to back or reverse with slight pressure at their chest with my hand. One rein stop is also good for a horse to be used to & know of. Beautiful mare & well turned out with her mane & tail. Have just discovered your channel through algorithm. I`m surprised you don`t have more subscribers. You have some good ideas & appreciate your showing them.
Great video - thank you
I won't ride a horse that can't do a one-rein stop!! Gotta practice them so they become reflex. Love my trail walkers!!
