Hi.. im doing fair soon for 4h and my riding intstructor hasnt even helped me at ALL with trail. Shes told me nothing about it, or what too expect. I ask her, and she trailes off into an other conversation about some thing else. Im in intermediate, and its my first year in 4h. Help??

@barrelhorserider7- You might find a couple of our newest video uploads helpful. Check out the videos titled "Enhancing Your Horse's Trail Performance" - there is one video on jogging in and out of obstacles and another on measuring the horse's stride length between poles. Generally a trail class will have about eight obstacles ranging from maneuvering a gate, trotting over poles, or backing through an obstacle. Check to see if your 4-H program has guidelines for the trail class.

do you have any neck reining tips for a VERY green horse?? ive heard that you can crisscross the reins under the horses chin, and then ride one handed, but im wondering what you think of this. could this hurt the horses mouth or make my horse totally confused???? i have fair for 4-h coming up soon, so im really freaking out. sincerley, frustrated and rushed

I ride english, but Gary's lessons are so easy to follow and very beneficial to any rider. Does anyone know if he has a website or something of the likes?
