    Always great training advice. Important point that I missed in your Lope Slow with Complete Control is to lope them for a long time. Funny how 5-10 minutes can seem like a long time! I appreciate the reminder of what 'long time' might really mean. Thanks, Larry.

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  2 года назад +7

      For some horses 5 or 10 minutes may be enough to get the message across. Other horses my need to be loped longer. Be cautious to prevent injury if the horse is not in shape.

    • @ltrocha

      Also, the lopping can be in intervals. 5 minutes and then a short break. 5 more minutes and then another break etc. etc.

    Love this video. Physiologically though, I completely disagree about boots protecting tendons. A few layers of any kind of wrap isn’t going to do a darn thing for 2000lbs of force. The best thing to do is gradually work your horse up in minutes at the lope.

    Thank you for the advice on iconoclasts boots. I have a pair. I will start using them on my filly for every ride.

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  2 года назад +3

      Don't use them every ride unless they are necessary. The velcro will wear out.

      Also, you want to build up your horse's leg strength. Only use the boots when necessary.

    Larry my older maiden mare that we AI’d this spring, lost her embryo so I have to wait and try breeding her again next year. It was either wait or keep trying and have a fall foal next year and I didn’t want to do that. I do thank you for all the great training tips your giving us here. I just hope my head can retain it all. Haha

    So the legs on him at 2:20, are you at a constant squeeze pressure on him? Or is it more of a bump with your feet? Can you expand on that type of pressure a little more?

  • @malveencourt8660
    @malveencourt8660 2 года назад +2

    Do you ask for specific lead when you’re going straight and ask for the lope? or do you just let the Horse choose which lead he wants to use.
    Thank you

    I have a question. So I have a cowhorse who is amazing in the pen, no charging or leaning on the bit. I haven't used him in the show pen in over a year and we've been mainly beening using him outside. Now when he lopes he speeds up no matter what and charges and puts so much pressure on the bit. He'll only do it when I try to go straight, he'll relax and settle in cirlces, but gets hotty when i asl to go straight. How do I fix that?

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  2 года назад +1

      He's been a reining horse and he knows that going "straight" means a run-down at speed and then a sliding stop. He simply remembers anticipating the reining pattern. The instant he does this, take him into a very small circle or "double" him several times.

    Is this true with horses that want to go fast a lot? I tried this and lope my horse every day depending on weather. But doing one rein stops. But nothing seems to be working.

    • @ltrocha
      @ltrocha  Год назад +2

      Three reasons why a training technique may not work for you... 1. You're not executing it correctly (the most common reason). 2. You're not consistent with applying it. 3. It's not the technique that fits your horse's personality.

    • @passionatehorsemanship3334
      @passionatehorsemanship3334 Год назад

      @@ltrocha it’s definitely not the technique that fits my horse’s personality. I’m going to try this again without the one rein stops and just lope her in a smaller space like you said. Other than being speedy she’s great. She stops and backs with my seat. She’s soft and supple. I can use my pinky finger to guide her and get lateral bend. I hope she understands to conserve her energy and lope slow. She’s like a work aholic she’ll get so sweaty and still want to go fast

    I almost bought a horse that did what we used to call "pea pusher". He would lope so slow that he would travel about 1 or 1.5 feet each time. How do you teach a horse to do that?
