Rollback - Hand up and back Spin - hand low and across 💡💡💡💡💡 lightbulb moment for me. Thank you!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Sometimes it’s the smallest things that make the biggest difference! 🤙🏾💯〽️

[@CC-xk6cp]

Hi again MATT Excellent the way you broke it down. Your explanations are directed and make much more sense that way. Then to watch the mechanics in motion ties it all together. I always say you're gifted with great teaching abilities! Thx as always...

[@mattmillsreining1]

It’s good for me to answer some of these detailed question! It makes Me get better!

[@michaelschulze6545]

A perfect slow-motion demonstration of the maneuver. Very instructive.

[@rjrice4940]

I just bought a mare that has reining training. I have ranch/ cutting horses and want to learn to rein. Your tips are priceless and appreciated. Thx

[@supersonicCoach]

Really cool to focus on the rider position and cues. Thx

[@Julia-fo6tj]

I hope one I'll come to the USA and will be able to learn from you. You make it look so easy, and explanation is just perfect. In Ukraine we haven't got any reining professionals or western riding industry, so I'm very thankful for your videos!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks Julia! I’m Surprised there’s no professionals in the Ukraine. With that being said have you checked out all of my videos at mattmillsreining.com ? I’ve got over 200 tutorials on the subscriber video page, if you have not looked at it I would love for you to try it out.

[@sjgrant1902]

Matt, I’m one of your subscribers. I watch all your videos again and again. This “tip of the week” roll back video is exceptionally great. Love the slow motion shot at the end. Thanks to you for helping me to improve every day.

[@jeannepetrillo9452]

You just make everything so crystal clear. You’re an amazing coach! Thanks

[@mattmillsreining1]

😎

[@user-kc8mi8iw2u]

Thank you for teaching us. I like this video because you speaking clear and saying the steps slow and 1,2,3 . . . so we can understand we the beginners from other countries that we haven't English our mother language (I am Greek). Keep that way my friend if you want. God bless you 🙌 .

[@Kk-ln1nm]

Another awesome video I am looking forward to gaining experience to achieve a great rollback.

[@rickm0208]

Who are the three people that gave this video thumbs down, are they the same people who are getting irritated through the screen? Great videos Matt, truly enjoy each and everyone of them.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks Rick! I appreciate it!!

[@LizNeuman]

Love your videos, Matt! You're very talented at breaking elements down so they're easy to understand. Thank you!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks! I try my best! 🤙🏾💯〽️

[@GerryCoxHorsemanship]

Without a doubt, one of the best in the business.

[@steviekehm8601]

Thank you Matt. These videos have been awesome for me because there is not much in NH for trainers. I am a dressage trainer that is dabbling in reining on the side, so I am very appreciative of you and your training.

[@suzanneyorkville]

did exactly this today with my little green mare. thank you so much.

[@colehorses2374]

I do the same loop in my bridle have for many years. For the same reason. And my clients ask the same question all the time.

[@mattmillsreining1]

😂😂😂😂

[@christinamaloney7183]

Thank you so much for breaking this down. I’m learning to do rollbacks and my body cues are all so incorrect! I’ll be practicing this for sure!

[@mattmillsreining1]

Great to hear

[@HughVail]

Great video!! Love the authenticity and demonstration in slow then smooth (fast)

[@3Sanibel33]

Nice! Practice! Thx for the tips Matt.❣️🍀

[@mattmillsreining1]

Of course! My pleasure

Great info breaking it down.

[@kyndrabrown9115]

Great, clear explanation! Thank you!!

[@churchillweslaughteredthewrong]

This is a great tip. Gotta admit I also did it wrong until today 👍🏻❤️

[@mattmillsreining1]

No worries!

[@jrlopez4341]

God bless you and your family

[@Lolashetlander]

wauw 🤩 i love this video 😍

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thank you for saying that!!

[@richardcowart3227]

I use those loops as a guide as well - when I look down I wanna see that the horses head, his eye, and that loop are slightly to the inside of the circle - I've gotten so use to looking down and seeing that durn loop - that if it's not there - I have to stop, get off and pull the loop,

[@go4spark112]

This is a great video! I love it! My horse don't react to the rain que like your horse, though. Any advice?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Lots of practice! Seriously. 💰💯💯〽️

[@jrlopez4341]

Awesome lesson my friend been moving my form to another side of Ocala Florida so I’ve been busy Hope all is well with you and your family and I want to know a little bit about your technique in the spinning thanks appreciate it

[@mattmillsreining1]

Hey! Thanks! Have you tried my 7 day free trial at mattmillsreining.com ? Over 200 videos in my library there. Tons of value, i would love for you to look!

[@dianepeoples3902]

What does a finished horse mean? Love your videos! Take care.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Thanks! So a “ finished horse “ is kind of saying we throw around for a horse that has a good concept of everything we have taught it. Just about anyone with a decent skill set around a horse can get it to do its job. It’s really kind of a myth. Reality is there is No such thing as being finished! We are always trying to improve or maintain.

[@annethomae9507]

Matt, what brand and type of Saddle is that? Great video!

[@pipooliveira7599]

[@tinamcclenahan8775]

Hi Matt, Thanks for this video.... 👍🏻😊. Wondering, do You use you're right leg at anytime during the right rollback?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Welcome, when executed properly I would say no. If I feel my horse “ over- rotating “ I might use that leg to hold my straight line out of the rollback

[@tinamcclenahan8775]

@@mattmillsreining1 Thank You 👍🏻Awesome video as always :)

[@Loarnold]

Great video! But it limits the horses vision to the rear so it bothers ppl for that reason.

[@passionatehorsemanship3334]

Thank you for this. My horse needs more muscle in his hind end. Will this help build those muscles?

[@camrynriddell509]

Hi Matt. Question, I have a young mare that is very large around 16.1 and I'm trying to teach her to spin. With her being large she has a longer back. So, with her size and long back she struggles getting her hind end under her. Any tips to make her get her hind end under herself?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Hey there, I’d say body collection at the jog/ trot in tight circles is where I would start. Take your time and get her very comfortable moving her body around!

[@camrynriddell509]

@@mattmillsreining1 Okay I'll work on that. Thank you for the tip.

[@colleenann1072]

How do you teach a green horse to do a rollback

[@mattmillsreining1]

Starts with shoulder movement, I like to start mine by 1st rolling back “ into “a fence. Use that barrier as an aid to prevent forward motion while you turn. After the habit is created, try it away from the fence and refine the cues.

[@ST-lt4ls]

Good morning Matt! Has the Coronavirus/Scandemic affected your training operation much?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Morning, it has slowed down our competitions but not my training. Fortunately I walk to the barn, so being “ locked down “ with my horses has actually allowed me to spend even more time than normal. How has it been for you?

[@ST-lt4ls]

Matt Mills thanks for your response. Fortunately, I’ve been able to work the entire time because I work from home. I work in healthcare, and there have definitely been some challenges with learning how to deal with Covid and regulations that go with it. We are down in Central TX. Not on lockdown currently but I am afraid it’s headed there again. Most Texans, like myself, honestly won’t stand for another one.

[@mattmillsreining1]

Well I’m glad you are still able to work! This def has gone on longer than I expected.

[@sharim]

@@ST-lt4ls Interesting comment. I’m also from Texas, but I appreciated the lockdowns since they kept more Americans-including Texans!-from dying of Covid.

[@ST-lt4ls]

@@sharim ok sheep.

[@tonyhodge9451]

Matt l have just started to watch your videos and my question is. What is the wrap on the left knee of the horse. And what is the purpose?????

[@mattmillsreining1]

That’s a padded boot to protect the knee while spinning. Preventive measures

[@cassidykocher6046]

What would be the difference on an unfinished horse?

[@letfreedomring6273]

Nice job! Was it fun?, cause it sure looked like it..

[@mattmillsreining1]

Absolute blast! I may be on Season 4 next year 😉

[@tinamcclenahan8775]

@@mattmillsreining1 Hope so!

[@deanwegner9532]

A question out of context with this extreme heat in Phoenix what do you do different in your training

[@mattmillsreining1]

That’s a GREAT QUESTION!!! The heat is a Huge factor in training. We have misters and fans in the barn, large fans and swamp coolers in our covered arena, and a covered exerciser. Our training hours shift quite a bit! We start at 4 am and go to about noon. Training sessions are significantly shorter in the heat.

[@letfreedomring6273]

Matt, was that you on an episode of Yellowstone?

[@mattmillsreining1]

Sure was!

[@ryanbellow5623]

Matt what kind of tail bag is that

[@ellacrum1613]

What about your seat in the stop how do you do that?

[@annahalko-angemi]

I like how you said slower and smoother. Nothing bothers me more than when someone rolls back too aggressively and the horse in turn picks up the incorrect lead when he straightens back out. Ugh!!! Rollback ruined! (Not the horse's fault)

[@mattmillsreining1]

I don’t think anyone’s “ trying “ to do it on purpose! We all should be trying to improve daily!
