Thank you Mr. Trocha! You're a Real Horseman.

I’m a horse groom for polo, something I forgot about was the timing. No wonder sometimes I would get the front lead, but not the back.

[@ltrocha]

Yes, the timing is pretty important

Lost my great ole reiner, cow horse 2 years ago. His lead changes were flawless. Used the same methods sort of. I could "think him to change several times on a straight line.😇

[@simonshusse]

Fine riding! The fact that you get such nice changes right from the start kinda makes me wonder if you're using your seat and weight in a manor not mentioned in this clip. For sure, if I would do the rein and leg aids as described but without a proper seat, no such clean change would take place. Subscribing.

[@ltrocha]

Thanks for subscribing. Yes, a good seat is a plus to getting good lead changes but there is nothing mysterious about it. Many people ride on their thighs instead of their butt. This prohibits them from getting good performance.

You're the first person I've seen to state WHEN to ask. I've been looking at what feels like a hundred videos looking for this knowledge. THANK YOU! My guy cross fires one direction- probably because I'm asking in the wrong place. However, he gives no effort to change the other direction. I'm going to have to work on this more to figure it out. You have no idea how much a GODSEND this video is!

[@pamelaforrest1622]

Impressive!

I’m currently teaching my horse lead changes, I’ve never taught a horse changes before and this video is really helpful! It’s especially good to know the timing of when to ask when the hind legs are off the ground, big thanks!

[@ltrocha]

You are welcome. Good luck Christina

[@mariethompson2021]

I’m about to start to attempt teaching my mare thanks to this video. How’s your progress coming? Any other tips?

[@markvelarde321]

Always good stuff Larry.

[@ltrocha]

Thanks Mark

Great video. My 6yr old gelding knows more than me. I am catching up. I'm working on smooth canter transitions. I think flying leads are coming soon. Thanks for the hoof timing tip to cue before the rear hoof hits the ground.Hope you had a great season. Cheers from BC

[@ltrocha]

Thanks Michael

[@murphyshsu]

I’m on a finished reiner and having so much fun… but our changes aren’t always as smooth as I would like… I think it is my timing… thank you for this video!

[@ltrocha]

That's a common problem. In the training video on my website, I show a way train your horse to change leads without the timing being so critical.

[@leanneobrien4235]

When your changing leads and you say put out leg on do mean on what point 2 or 3 to change legs

[@ltrocha]

Hi leanne, I'm not quite sure I understand your question. Maybe reword it.

[@mr.miaumiau2892]

So , it is about timming and the very moment his hind legs are in the air to ask with light signals , am I right boss ?

[@ltrocha]

You are right... but the timing is easier said than done. Very important!

[@silverkitty2503]

This is so diff from english... i guess which makes sense because there is no way a horse would feel your seat through a western saddle.

[@ltrocha]

Actually, the horse can feel your seat in a western saddle. Just not to the degree of an english saddle. Much less bulk with the english saddle for sure.

[@silverkitty2503]

@@ltrocha Thanks for the response I didn't know.
