Reining Trainer, Fred Thomsson, talks about the five maneuvers that he performs on a daily basis to make his horses soft, supple and willing to work. Performing these five steps will help your horse in many different areas and will be able to help when training your reining horse to circle, spin, and stop. Tom McCutcheon

Here’s me, 3 am during quarantine. Obsessed with star stable online and now in love with western cuz of the update, wanted to teach this to my Andalusian who has never done any western in his live (nor have I) with my very English tack.

Technically all the decent western horses all have per sey "dressage," fundamentals as in most disciplines:)

I know this video is very old, but I’m just finding it. I will admit, I used to feel very similar to a lot of these commentators about the spurs. However, in my lesson program, I had the opportunity to use a couple of horses that were started with these foundations and shown in reining and working cowhorse disciplines. What I’ve learned since then, is that once the horse is this soft, they don’t go about their daily work like this, but riding them is super easy, they are so handy with their feet and highly athletic with lateral movements, flying lead changes, rollbacks and stopping. I can have 7-10 year olds riding more advanced maneuvers correctly, and the horse stays soft and safe. Since I’ve made this discovery, I have been somewhat putting this type of training on my own horses, and I am getting better results. I can see in this video how people would think this rider is over using his spurs, but if one really pays attention, you can see is is lightly bumping, not poking and prodding. And if the foot is in the proper position, the first thing touching the horse is the calf, not the spur. The idea is, that if the horse responds well with the calf, the spur isn’t even used. This technique even results in a very responsive, yet non reactive horse. The other benefits to these exercises, is that the quality of gait gets softer and smoother. The horse uses more of his hindquarters than forequarters, so he has less stress in the front end, and potentially extending the horses useable life since the horse already carries so much weight on the forehand when not taught how to transfer some of that weight back to the haunches. The biggest thing I try to be mindful of is going slow enough that I don’t cause the horse to brace when I ask the horse to soften at the poll, because I don’t want the hyoid apparatus to be damaged. I know a lot of professional reining trainers can get quick results by implementing steps that cause the horse to almost sink back from the riders hands, but I personally prefer to take it slower and keep my horse a little more in contact. I know this makes for slower end results and probably a horse that will not be as good at doing certain maneuvers as quickly. But for the time being, with what I do with my horses, I’m happy with that. Hope this helps some understand from a personal path perspective.

Many thanks, I've been looking for "training a horse to ride bridleless" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Menailey Vonaliyah Formula - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.

Hey, what do you do to get your horses coat that healthy? I recently got a gelding and he wasn't taken care of at his last home, so we're working on trying to help his coat out.

@viennarae8116 4 жыл бұрын

I was wondering the same with my mustang mare. She had really course hair and it wasnt heathy or shiny. But this year with her she’s had really good hay, exercise, minerals, and a lot of grooming. You could try different supplements.

@jamieridge6944 3 жыл бұрын

Correct conditioning, vacuuming, proper supplementation (platinum/smart pak is wonderful) proper blanketing, use of coat conditioners etc.

@Diane Fox, no... I was not pleased to see them using Spurs as you can't even buy them where I live (you can order but they are pricey and what's the point?) You can use leg pressure since horses learn off release and pressure

Spurs can be a useful tool on some horses, but the way they “over” used here has zero benefit. But this video lost me when he said they start two year olds anyways...

@@AdonisBlueCo I agree, people in these sports, reining racing and others start them as 2yr olds, why can't they let them grow up?
