Horse Training For Control - How To Prevent Bucking, Bolting And Violent Spooking 

You never stop learning.

Agree on never letting a horse know they can buck.

This is so true. It is helping to keep me in the saddle on both my 2 yo filly and 3 yo mare. Thank you for a tip that seems so basic and simple but is the most important thing to teach eve

My trainer never told me about keeping them moving while you do it. This helps SO MUCH!

My 4 y.o. bolts periodically. When she does her head is up, and her neck and jaw are really stiff. I started riding her with a training fork as it helps give me more control over her head but now after watching your video I realize I am using it as a band-aid and not actually correcting the behavior of not giving to the bit when asked. Thank you for this excellent video. I am definitely going to put your technique to practice on my mare!

That horse looks exactly like my horse thelma....thelma is 5 and needs tuneing up shes been sitting 2 yrs after her training 😥she is a hancock filly very stubborn. I will be starting her once the weather stays steady...this video is very helpful ty larry

Thank you for sharing your expertise with us all! So nice to learn and apply what we can to our own horses. I am thankful for this!

Nice demonstration. Very informative. Thanks

Loved this video

Very good advice.

Very good info, you always have very informational videos that work. Thank you Larry

Thank you!

So helpful

I needed this. I'm about to bring home an older horse that bucked from a trainer. At least she hasn't bucked in awhile

I like the way you were training

Thank you sir for that video

Gold video.

Nice work! I'm saving this one

Great videos Larry

I learned the same in a dressage clinic man he bumped hard until the horse listened. It seem so harsh, but it was so effective. I’ve been doing this with my gelding who likes to walk off before I get on his back when he tries to take a step before I ask him to. I give him three hard bumps on the reins, he learns real quick to stand quiet. The key is consistency. Don’t allow them to creep ahead. Stay aware and bump every creep! Mind you this is in a Snaffle bit. There’s no way you need to be doing this in a curb a horse should be beyond any of these issues before you put them in any kind of leverage bit.

Wish i could send my horse to you .your very soft and kind in your way of training

Sooooo cool.

Love watching and listening. Currently have a lil mare that was started by someone else and is super smart but unfortunately she picks and chooses when she bucks right after saddling. Her outbursts are getting shorter but I have yet to find a cause or cure to them. I believe she is so smart she has figured out in the past she can throw these tantrums and get out of it, my fix has been to make her work harder and persist until she gives the desired response which then she is rewarded. She is the most frustrating puzzle I have come upon yet.

I liked this video! Grazie :) Here in Italy we've very good trainers (especially in the north), but also so many quacks! So I constantly look for confirmations of what I'm learning. I like your channel! Thanks and... Come on Andrea Fappani! 😁

Great video

Thank you 😊

Go Larry 😂

So nice to see the young filly stand calmly.

Love this video! I am starting a Percheron for trail riding soon. She’s still a baby. I want her to be really light due to her size. Thank you so much. ❤️😀

Hello, good video, I liked & subscribed. I do have a question. I just got a horse, a 15 year old Tennessee walker gelding, a good calm horse. Having the strangest problem. I saddle him up on my property here in Tennessee, I can ride him as far as I want, could be a hundred yards could be a mile, he will keep going, will stop when i ask. The problem is when I try to turn him back he don't want to go. He gives me a hard time, we argue in circles, he puts his head down, bends his neck back & sometimes backs up, he just won't go forward. He will argue for an hour like this instead of just going forward. I resorted to climbing down & walking him home where on the walk he is a perfect gentleman. Someone suggested spurs or a riding crop, what are your thoughts on this?

I have been using a German martingale since the 1970's. Most people ask me what is that piece of garbage for? I prefer it to the running martingale or a tie down. I've had horses bloody my nose with the top of their head just like ol' Bodacious did to the bull riders.

Nice results for an ex-bucking mare, the concept is that the back track follows the front track while walking, NOT like pivoting, like in the spin, right?... Merry Christmas and a wonderful New year for you and your loved ones Boss, sincerily, mucho to thank to you

Every colt.

So I do have a question in regards to giving the head. My mare has been started for about 9 months. She does give her head when riding and on the ground, but when I go to bridle her 90% of the time she turns her head the other way which then I grab and pull her head inwards to me a few times before bridling to know she needs to which she takes the bridle after no problem. This was never like this until a couple months ago, so it's something I've never had to come across since I started. I am wondering if you have any tips on how I can correct that? I really liked your video and the information given. Thank you for taking the time to do videos!

Totally agree with the flexing to the side works every time I try to get controle. Just one question , the horse im training now are some days good and some days just want to buck and bolt.. why would that be?

❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

How do you get them ready/ how do you know when they are ready?

Does a young horse need special exercises to make its back stronger to have a rider on? Thanks

I don't know where to put this but if anyone has an answer let me know. its a long story but I need help. There is a horse that I am asked to ride by the owner, as he is very old, around 60-70 and he has 3 horses ages ranging 17-30 years old. he wants them to be ridden and in a sense, worked on so they are less fat. I am not a very experienced rider, I did have advanced riding lessons in western, to where I know basic riding but that varies on everyone's skill level and we haven't been taught on behavior issues and corrections outside of riding and barrels. I can't seem to figure out how to fix an issue with the owners horses I am having to confront, apparently they haven't been ridden for a couple months but are really gentle fellas, we have ridden them about 4 times on trails on the owners property. the horse I assigned myself is not confident outside the pasture, gets nervous from deer and decides to run home. when the horses are they try to canter or do anything to get back to the barn, I don't know how to solve this as the horse I am with, is willing to walk backwards to the barn, or canter, and I just can't keep him from speeding his way home, I feel that these horses haven't been ridden in so long they don't respect my authority, lack manners in riding, and or its just me not understanding the horses... I don't have an exact answer on what to do, if you know how to fix this I need some help please, I'm only a 13 year old equestrian, so finding answers is hard. :")

i have a horse that rears when i try and take his head away, so i turn him and he goes up. how do i fix that?
