Hi. I have a barrel horse I want to start training for cutting. She is used to a three ring myler bit. Is that alright or should I take her back to an o roing for this work?
G'day larry i really enjoy watching your video's. Just something i noticed when you said you didn't like her turns to the the left is that she was leaning out with her shoulder through the shoulder in her turns. If i found my horse doing that i would correct it by stoping the in the middle of the turn and side steping him off the leg more by rolling my spur or would tighten my outside rein so that so that the horse would finish it's turns on an counter bend.
good vid but I must say you are being very unreasunabley rough on your horses mouth she has just been broken right ? well that is no way to be treating her a tug is fine not a great big jer to take her behind the vertical in my opinion it is very hard on this horses mouth please do not pull this much so fast
currently breaking my own three year old and saddle starting many others also getting a green horse experiance and dealing with rescues And I'm my own trainer
Hey.. How are you? I just wanted too tell you your videos have helped me SOOOOOO muhc.. I recently purchased a cutting horse 5 months ago,, and i'm still learning how too firgure out how too ride her.. Ive taught her bunches since ive got her like Barrels, Poles, do roping(which she already knew) ect.. But with me watching these videos and how you work with your cutting horses, I've done a lot of the stuff you have done and it actually works for us LOL..|
Or did you mean when all of your action stops and you are totally relaxed? I'm sorry its the only thing that confuses me and would help me greatly if you could clarify. Is there are difference between when you "stop riding" and when you aren't giving anymore cues.
Question, I have seen your vids for a while now. I'm about to get my horse into cutting. I've done everything but work with cows and I'm excited.
One thing confuses me, in the beginning you say when you stop moving your leg, your horse should stop. I've always been taught, once you give the horse a cue-it needs to continue that action until it is given a new cue. Even if you are no longer signaling it.
G'day Larry, I have started my stock X quarter gelding into campdrafting (Australian Sport) and a part of this sport has cutting in it. My horse is really good at the course bit, but he has a problem with keeping his head down. What do you think I should do? Thankyou, and good video, im learning alot :)
Mr. Trocha, I have a horse that has been trained to cut. However, he got scared of the cattle and will not face off with them. I would like to begin cutting when i lean reining well can you give any advice.
My Dual Pep son had the same problem as this filly - he wants to "round the turns" after watching this video, what my trainer said yesterday makes much more sense! Larry is right though, Green + Green doesn't rally make a great match - although my horse knows more than I do - I just need to trust him more, and know when and how to correct him . I could sit and watch Larry's videos for hours, and think "That makes sense!" If only I was in Cali, and not MN!
Hey Larry. I have a four-year old Quarter mare that I just recently put on cows for the first time. I've noticed a lot since then and after watching this video that she could be a lot more responsive. Are there any specific exercises you do with your youngsters I could try? Very nice horse by the way. (:
Hi Larry, Thank you for sharing what you discovered thru many wet saddle blankets and from good horsemen/women along your journey. I have been blessed to ride these marvelous animals with good trainers but not until I discovered your training videos have I been able to add up and organize all of the information that I have gathered along the way. With cutters, why does the front leg cross behind so often when turned around? What is the trainer after with all the loping before competing?
These are great videos! Thank you for the introduction to Cutting. I have a close friend who purchased a very spoiled gelding, who at one time trained as a cutting horse. Several years of getting away with murder with novice riders has covered up the training, but I knew the moment I started riding him he had quality training. The only problem was uncovering it. The more and more I ride him the more cobwebs are cleaned out. I know with a adv. cutting rider he'd probably remember all of it.
Last weekend I rode him and got a taste of how he really handles. While softening up his body and refining cues I discovered and he rediscovered rollbacks and spins. It was really amazing to feel the transformation. At the beginning of the ride he was high-necked, hollowed back, and choppy stride. Near the end of the ride he was really trying to work off his hindquarters. His owner was shocked. I can't wait how he feels when he's conditioned.
I've been doing my homework on cutting horses lately. I've shown in western pleasure for some time but due to college expense I couldn't afford horses anymore. It's been years since I've ridden and I miss it like crazy!
Finally, I have an opportunity to work cutting horses (which I've had minimal experience in) and your videos have been immensely helpful! Hope I'm not too rusty!
I thought the best method was always tell the horse to go,and if the stop before you say,then tell em to go again. I taught my horses never to stop...... unless i say
I absolutely love watching your videos, I'm starting my filly and teaching her the basics of riding, but then I'm going to send her to an experienced cutting trainer. Your videos help me to know what to expect when she comes back from the trainer. Also I'm starting cutting lessons this year, and watching your videos will make it easier for me to learn (like how you really ride the horse forward, and it stops when you stop riding).
Wow, great you tube videos, I am just starting my 2 fillies out so there are a lot of great tips and information on your youtube videos that will help me out.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, much appreciated!

Hi Larry,
I was wondering, is it possible to compete in cutting with a bosal?

@InuYashaLuva2592 Yes, you can show your horse at an ncha show with a bosal as long as it meets their requirements.

Hi pegdiana,
A cutting horse usually crosses "under" on the turnarounds because they get backed up a few steps before they turn.
The loping is to get them good and warmed up to try and prevent pulled mucsles and to get the "fresh" off them so they work instead of play.
