Volume 2
Larry Trocha Video
Training Secrets of a Top Professional •
Picture this. You’re running your horse down the arena. You softly say
“whoa” and lightly lift the reins. Your horse responds instantly, giving
to your hand by dropping his nose and shooting his hind legs far
underneath his body.
As your horse goes into the stop, his mouth, neck and shoulders stay
soft and supple. His front legs remain relaxed as his hind legs lock,
making long, deep, slide tracks in the dirt. That’s what this video is all
about.
This is the third “stopping” video in the Larry Trocha Training Series.
The tape picks up where "Teach Your Horse to Stop Light and Collected
volume 1"
left off. The first two “stopping” tapes focused on the all important
foundation and intermediate techniques of teaching a horse to stop.
This third video expands, modifies and refines the training techniques
introduced in the first two tapes. This tape is a "must have" for riders
who are really serious about having a good stop on their horse.
Special Sidenote!
It’s best if you watch the first two stopping tapes, "Foundation
Training for the Stop and Back Up" and "Stop
Light & Collected Volume 1.5" before you watch this video. Each
of my "stopping" tapes builds on the next.
Here’s What You’ll
Learn...
¨
Teaching Your Horse Good Head Position
It’s important that your horse learns to work with a low head. Nothing
in the world feels better than to have a horse come back to your hands
softly and lightly. This section of the video shows you several
techniques to accomplish a beautiful head position. You will learn how
to teach your horse to lower his poll as well as give his nose to your
hands.
¨
How
to Make Your Horse Light and Responsive
If a horse is going to be a top performance horse, it’s imperative that
he responds immediately to the riders cues. This section shows you how
to teach your horse to stop hard with just a touch of the reins. And
with some horses, just lifting the reins, not even touching their
mouth. This isn't as hard to teach a horse as some people think.
However, you must give the horse a specific sequence of cues. Follow
this simple sequence and your horse will practically teach himself.
¨
Schooling Your Horse for Long, Sliding Stops
You are going to love this part of the video. I ride two horses
and school them as if I were preparing them for a reining.
The first horse is pretty far along in his training but definitely has
some problems. You’ll see me schooling this horse to correct his
bouncing stops, bad head position, and charging the run-down (speed
control). I start out schooling this horse with a snaffle and finish him
up with a curb bit. You’ll see big improvements take place right before
your eyes.
Sidenote: Even though this horse was
having some problems in the video, with a little more training he went
on the win both the Open and Non Pro Reining Year-End Championships of
the WCH Association.
The second horse is fairly green. He doesn’t know how to slide and is
not shod with sliding plates. However, you’ll see this horse go from
having almost no stop whatsoever, to doing long, sliding stops that are
pretty and correct. I school this horse with just a snaffle. You won’t
believe the transformation this horse makes. (You will see how this is
done in actual "real time". No "editing out" was done to this part of
the video, what you see is the way it really happened).
Sidenote: Shortly after this video
was produced, I started training this horse for cutting. After a year of
training, he and his owner started showing and ended up winning the Non
Pro Year-End Championship Saddle for the Vintage Cutting Horse
Association.

Training Horses that are Difficult to Stop
If you have a horse that’s giving you trouble while learning to stop,
this part of the video is really going to help you. I share with you
some solutions that work extremely well. You’ll learn special training
techniques and see some special training equipment that can make a big
difference in your horse’s performance.
