How did you teach her to do that?

[Cassafrass1234]

When I got her she was fully trained for reining so she already knew how. To teach a horse you could try pulling back on the reins firmly and consistently to keep the horse back on his hind legs. Apply pressure on the outside leg and take off your inside leg. apply more and more pressure until he crosses one leg over the other. When spinning they do it by crossing and uncrossing their front legs and one hind leg is planted. They rotate around this back leg. Once he

...crosses a front leg over the other let him uncross it how he likes and praise him. Once he does this a few times keep the pressure on and make him cross and uncross going in the same direction. Continue to add a little more length untill he understands what to be doing. Make sure not to let him take steps forward. You may find it useful to take a few steps backward then going right into a spin so he stays back on his hind quarters.

why are u selling her?

[Cassafrass1234]

I'm moving to a place where there is no reining. The closest reining show is an 8 hour drive away. And I'm graduating this year so once I go off to school it'll be hard for me to pay her board.
