  1. Training, Performance, behavioral concerns/queries
    Hey guys! I'm working on pivots for HMS patterns. So far we've got a "correct" pivot down under saddle...but it's really slow. I'm not totally sure how to add a speed. It helps when I wear spurs but I prefer not to use them, and would like to find a different method of getting him motivated to...

    I am teaching my horse a few reining moves, just for something fun to do with her. I want to work on a spin with her, but she is heavy on her front, and spins her back end out when I ask her.

  6. Reining
    Hi Everyone, My reiner has had about a year off prior to my purchasing him. When he turns, he pivots on his outside leg. What exercises can I do to aid him in pivoting on his inside leg again?
