    What a nice little horse! A few comments; first this horse will make a nice reiner, really stretches out his hind and really uses it! Automatic stop is also evident. Second I loved the back ground music. I sensed a fun relaxed session happening and wished I was riding along with. Nice way to change it up.

      He really is a nice little horse, that’s the direction we’re heading with him, you’ll be seeing him in the reining pen for sure. I always appreciate your support and feedback, it’s going to help me get better at this! Thanks Cindy.

      @@_thenaturalhorseman you don’t need any help from me, you already know way more than I can offer. I just appreciate that you give your followers a reply. That speaks volumes of your personality that your genuine and down to earth not high on your horse (pardon the pun) . You know your stuff and have been mentored by some heavy hitters. You rock!

    I wish I had the money to send my boy to you!
    He has almost 30 rides on him and I’m having trouble getting him to move forward. He wants to go in small circles instead of straight and hates turning on his right lead.
    He has good flex and is a very sweet boy but I’m having trouble helping him to the next level.
    He’s already on a full cheek snaffle and is very comfortable in it.

      He also throws his should in in any type of circle. Instead of doing a 30 foot circle he takes a 5 foot and just cuts in completely

      @@abbysk9training Great job getting him going in a snaffle! The issues you're experiencing are common, something I help horses through regularly. It sounds like in this instance, he could use some support separating his head and neck yield from his shoulder yield. While your sitting on him, see if you can get him to break over in the hind end, but not pivot on the inside front, but rather have him cross over in the front, release him when he begins to spiral out onto a bigger circle. This is one approach to helping him understand what you'd like.

      @@_thenaturalhorseman so I’m trying to picture this maneuver, would setting up by a wall or fence help in aiding this and is it basically stand parallel then getting the horse to do a 180 or am I totally off track here?

    Hi Steve, tha nks for posting even though you sound sick 🥴🤧 another great explanation! Teaching the horse to have self control rather than us holding them up…did I get it?..

      Hi Amanda! Yes I have an awful sinus thing, plugging my face and a wonderful sinus headache lol. Sorry about the added distraction. Wednesday’s “short on space” video will sound much better.
      You’re spot on with the lesson, release the horse where you’d like them to be and hand the responsibility to them. They are really smart animals I really seem to enjoy this level of respect from us.

      @@_thenaturalhorseman I hope you get well soon! I wasn’t distracted, just thought here you are working when you should have been wrapped in a blanket, resting 😩 when I release my pony where I want him to be, he still thinks his idea is better than mine so goes back off track and I don’t want to nag him too much?!? I think often the footing isn’t good (frozen clay with holes at the moment) so I guess he’s just avoiding the divots! I am severely visually impaired too so don’t always see hazards but he surely does! I’m rather a unique case and struggle to convince my lad that I’m a good leader when I can’t see! Oh dear 🙄🤠
