Changing Leads - Fred Thomsson

Fred teaches the difference between the right and left lead while in the lope. Fred also goes over how he teaches his horses to change leads and to keep them relaxed since this maneuver can be difficult for a young horse to learn. Tom McCutcheon

By far the most well demonstrated lead change video I've ever seen.

Do Western riders care if the new lead is late behind?

[@baileytoo1804]

I dont know if i understood this correct let me know if i am wrong. When you tap with your right leg your horse should pick up the right lead and vice versa with the left leg?

[@VirtualHorseHelp]

Correct. Once a foundation is laid, and they become responsive, then by tapping each side, the horse should change leads.

[@drivensnow3175]

I Will never understand this. How is the leading leg not determined by when you start watching it?

[@VirtualHorseHelp]

Could you explain your question? We are not sure what you are asking.

[@jennbucy5114]

It's Not the leg that strikes first, it's the lead that strikes furthest.
