  • Larry, I'm not sure how you make any money on your videos because you're giving away all your best secrets on YouTube!~  I can say that I have learned a lot watching your tips, I go practice a bit and then come back to refine what I am doing. I am curious how to find out about your clinics schedule and even options/costs for coming to your place for a few days. Thanks for everything, you are a great mentor...

  • @gcoxalaska Thanks for the compliment. Yes, the information I share on youtube and my "Horse Training Tips Insider" is useful to a lot of people.

    However, my absolute BEST stuff is contained in my horse training DVDs and my online, Horse Training Inner Circle videos.

    Very exceptional information there.

    Take care,

    Larry T.

  • Ok, taking a horse's head away for the spooking. What if you have a horse that can run straight with it's nose to your boot? I have a friend that has one like that. She turns great off a very light rein when in the round pen. When you take her out though, she doesn't respond at all. You try to turn her and she just bends her neck, and goes where ever she wants. how do you correct that?

  • @Mdequifever Have your friend contact me personally on the phone and I'll tell her what to do.

  • My dream horse bucked me off 3 months ago & now I'm too scared to ride him. I've owned him for 7 months. I now realized that I've been letting him push me around & he thinks he's the leader. I've taken a few natural horsemen ground lessons, I've been firm with him and really working almost daily with him. I recently took him for a walk off our property & he spooked & jumped around the entire time like he knew nothing, worse than before. I'm really scared of him now. What can be done?

  • @miflock1 Learn to get control of him... that's what can be done.

  • Larry,

    I like that you tell it like it is. You don't sugar coat it at all. One of the only well known trainers that does that. Preparation is so key to a one rein stop. Great job. I love your emails and you videos. Thanks a lot.

  • are you from texas?

  • @Mdequifever I'm no Larry Trocha but we like to teach the horse to move the hip around a Lot! Now when the horse spooks go ahead and pull the head a bit but then start into that hip and make that hip (kick) push around until he softens... Walk off and when he spooks Get after him.. HE will soon enough dread spooking thinking he will get corrected for it...

  • How do I get my quarter horse to not spook outside of pasture? I can walk him to the place that i want to ride him (around the niehgborhood for example) so i'll take him out and show him everything, but when I go back to tack him up it's a different story. He will spook at something I just showed him and try to bolt back to the barn. How do I solve this?

  • my freisianxarabian horse spooks and then takes off! I cant get him back from it until i fall off!

  • Okay... I love this video anyways... So I have a very spooky morab. So she is a perfect show horse outside and rarely spooks. Then I bring her in the indoor and she is a completely different horse. She spooks at everything. I walk her around lounge her. I even turn her out hoping to fix this. It never works. I have control over her head and everything but out of nowhere she spooks at something rears up and bolts. I circle her and try to get her to move but she wont. What can I do?
