Teaching Your Horse to Spin 

Took me a long time to find a video showing people how to turn on the haunches correctly. Thank you for posting!

Thank you Todd I'm just curious how anyone could give this a 👎🏻??? I'd bet most folks on here did NOT know this information on how to get a horse to spin!!!

Thank u sm!! I have been riding for about 7 years and I am just now getting into real competitions instead of small ones that I did when I was little. I was taught english and I now do western and I am learning how to do reining and this helped a lot.

Thank you man now i learned how to spin with my horse arigato gyro

Todd I think you explained it well. Clear, concise and we'll demonstrated. Thank you for the post.

This guy has good horseman ship if you look close he is doing all this without a bit . I like him and his horse

Great video. Very clear to understand

Well one time as I was waiting to do keyhole with my horse (for the first time but we placed third even though in the past he has never done contesting) I asked him to spin out of curiosity and he did it quickly and nicely which was a surprise. Then he backed off similar to a Reiner

Thank you so much you are so helpful

that was very helpful thank you!

excellent video, thanks

Very helpful thank you.

I sure didn't mean to be critical of this mans horsemanship, he is an incredible horseman, I would just have preferred to have seen it on a somewhat greener horse. As for the rest of the moronic statements below, Good Lord!! Breathing too hard, too soft of ground, cinched too tight, not good horsemanship, better ways to do it???? I'd suggest ANY of you simply show YOUR link on how YOU do it so we can see better ways. This gentleman was simply shooing us "A" way to get started, not THE way.. Get humble...

I wish you had shown us with a Greener horse.. But it was pretty good...

Very niceo

hi todd. my horse neck reins but is a beginner. he shuffles his back end around instead of moving his front legs around. how can I overcome this issue as I have tried several different techinques but he still moves around on his back end. please help

@holli hankamer they call it dribbling in soccer too

nkeeeyyy???? :D Nice vid.. thx for showing!

Yay I like the bitless

Spinning.. why is this an important skill for a horse to know, and is it hard on the horses' legs , ligaments or tendons. Just curious. Thank you! Interesting video

I really want to teach my horse how to do this, I know that she is an English horse, but just in case I have to turn and go... I'm not able to follow fully...

wow he is really breathing hard!

Ooohhhhhh

Does no one realize that dribbling a soccer ball is a true statement?? Kicking the ball with your feet down the field is called dribbling. It's not just for basketball.

I thought this video is where the man spinning twice on the horse

Notice horse fast the horse is breathing.

how do you correct a horse who is a scared of a cow

Lesson 5 joni

He did say to dribble a soccer ball. Lol

its breathing heavy, he must of given the horse a good work out before starting the video

mmmkay

I came here to learn spin from JoJo, not how to ride a horse.

derlahmt

I really wish you could do a video on a horse making mistakes, rather than on one that knows everything...

I wish u used a green horse ur using a horse that already knows this

and look hes bit less

my horse didnt spin

This was 12 years ago. This method is obsolete. Yes it is odd that the horse is hyperventilating and tail swishing and yet seemingly calm in the face.Probably didn't like his job. No he isn't too big for the horse.

The horse seems like it is having trouble breathing??? Doesn't look sweaty.. Maybe girth too tight and he can't breath?

The video was kind of distracting. Its hard to pay attention to the guy when his horse's tail keeps flailing about. x.x And I agree with the green horse thing. Its nice to show a horse who makes mistakes, so that riders trying to start out dont get tiffed when it doesnt look like that

That horse looked like it needed to walked out or something, I was feeling anxious watching. My question, why constantly pester the horse when its standing there. Every time he moves his head you move your hand. I ride my horses with calm and direct, with out the nagging.

You seem like a heavy load on that horse's back. He is not that big but you are a full size man.

What is the purpose of the the spinning?? Why ? Just for show ? Do they get dizzy like Hunan's ??? The Horse looks tired,how many times did you make the horse go thru this before the video ? The horse is breathy heavy and sweating. You are to big for this horse..

Man, the footing in that arena is terrible! Look at how deeply the horse sinks into the sand at each step :/

Never seen a horse breathing that fast without it lathered in sweat or it being very ill. :\

yes it is struggeling for air and it's muscles are trembling....Todd should have give him a break walking... I dislike this video for that reason

There are better ways to start a horse turning around and reaching with that inside leg than this. Not very good horsemanship in my opinion.
