How to Use Leg Cues on Your Horse Part 1

[@txlongarm]

Finally! 1000 videos on using your seat and legs to control the horse but this is the first I’ve found that goes into detail. Thank you!

[@SteveDyer]

Glad it was helpful.

[@BITSANDBYTES927]

The horse looked back at one point was llike 'wtf is he doing now' lol

[@bscott185]

Best instructional for leg cues ever! So clear and step-by-step.

[@SteveDyer]

Thank you.

[@johnretta4691]

Mr. Dyer this “How to Use Cues on Your Horse Part 1” is a God Send! No other video or in person instruction has worked for me. My heart felt thanks.

[@cindyalger1212]

First person to give a completely understandable explanation of leg cues. Thank you!

[@SteveDyer]

You are welcome. I have lots of other videos, hope you will check them out.

[@jamiescruggs-nelson569]

This is the best instructional video on leg pressure I have found. I needed a refresher after several years out of the saddle.

[@SteveDyer]

Thank you,

[@marietalbott7600]

Thank you so much for this video I was never clear on my leg cues you made it very easy for me to see and understand..I'm a visual learner and my whole life I just winged it..... Just recently I decided to get back in the saddle of over 20 years and I wanted to be clear of my leg positions for I want to show in western pleasure and trail as my first part in re-entrying my riding at the age of 60.... thank you again....

[@SteveDyer]

Glad you are back riding!

[@michaelakovarikova8672]

Thank you for really clear and understandable explaining. You are fabulous teacher.

[@Amira79]

Such a gorgeous and smart equine with an excellent rider who deals so gently and respectfully with his horse. Thank you for the tutorial. All the best from Hungary.

[@SteveDyer]

Thank you for watching.

[@rhettcollins8682]

Good grief!!! Finally !!! Thank you 🙏

[@karenstuchl1148]

Awesome video. I am being instructed to use mostly foot cues, but needed a nice slow explanation with visuals....and this was it!!!! Thank You!!!

[@SteveDyer]

Thank you.

[@jjg5927]

i’m an english eventer trying to learn basic western riding since my boyfriend is a roper, and this helped so much!

[@evansveilleux5168]

i very very much appreciated the simple and clear explanations

[@virglibrsaglove]

Very nice video with nice clear instructions. I like how you exaggerated the movements for us so that we could see what you are doing. I also like that you split it up into two videos. Some want to teach their horse. And some are wanting to know how to properly ask a horse who already knows. 👍

[@SteveDyer]

Thanks. Glad it helps.

[@KadieJoy]

❤ the most understandable instruction

[@sandradrew8695]

You are a great easy to follow instructor!

[@TheAlizee50]

Thank you for all instructions. I have started western riding this year so all is new for me. Your video helped me a lot with understanding how to use my legs correctly.

[@SteveDyer]

These leg cues should be basically the same for English or western riding.

[@lavjabuley]

Howdy! Found this video because one of my characters in my western is gonna teach another how to give leg cues to his horse, so this is super informative and useful!! Thank you for the awesome video!

[@jlf1309]

Excellent demonstration! 👍

[@amandaroldan6944]

Ugh thank you!! I’m a new rider and this clears up so much!

[@bakersfieldroofing4479]

The teacher we've been searching for!

[@medicalmary1253]

Thank you for the tips

[@vonholley]

Switching from Equestrian to Western thank you!

[@thefali1545]

[@michaelc2509]

Well explained. Simple and clear.

[@SteveDyer]

[@graphicsite]

[@cazema1]

Great video!

[@SteveDyer]

Thank you.

[@gracechristianschoolcypres3189]

Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing. Spot on and easy to understand .

[@pullupachairandstay]

THank you, very helpful.

[@cassandrarodriguez244]

Really good video

[@sd_rcfanatic157]

Thank you for the tutorial. Can you please help which leg cue to use on barrel racing and pole bending please. Thank you in advance.

[@SteveDyer]

I will try to do that within the next week.

[@-qj6ps]

My horse is so light that he always thinks I’m cueing a lope with almost any leg pressure when we are walking or trotting. Need to work more with him

[@SteveDyer]

Riding with an active leg like I demonstrated will help him get over that.

[@foxlover3587]

I love horses I went to the horse's today to have a look at the clothes I have the sound one of the horses and I've got 3 left now

[@amir250]

great

[@bobbenson5733]

Thank you for instruction. I am having trouble with moving shoulder. Where do you put your leg? Is it just a little forward, what you call position 1, or is it clear in front of front cinch? And do you use only squeez or do you turn your foot toe-out? Thank you again.

[@SteveDyer]

Please watch How to Use Leg Cues Part 2. I explain how to teach these cues to your horse.

[@Lyonesss101]

When you loped and you turned him left, did you put your right leg in position 1 and opened your left leg?

[@SteveDyer]

I did but I have since learned that putting the outside leg in leg position 3 will help keep the horse’s hindquarters engaged in the turn.

[@paulg6852]

Great video, so in a turn to the left… does the outside leg go to position 1 or 3?…. Have heard it taught both ways😆 thx

[@SteveDyer]

@@paulg6852 Either way will work. If your horse is very in tune with your legs, position 3 will help keep the hip engaged in the turn. I typically use position 1 with colts and gradually move back as they develop.

[@paulg6852]

@@SteveDyer thanks a lot for getting back to me, I always found it confusing some saying have the outside leg forward and some back, but that makes sense forward on young horses and then move it back gradually 👍thx so much

[@bobbettepierce5756]

I use leg cues but when riding on tail behind.other. horses. I have to pull back Is there any thing else I need to know. He has a big gallop

[@SteveDyer]

If you are pulling back to slow your horse, he is not responding to your body. Work in an arena bending him to slow him down. Pulling on both reins probably won’t work to slow him.

[@p4radigm989]

good video. what do you think about riding bitless with a rope halter?

[@SteveDyer]

I do ride with halters and hackamores sometimes. Check out a video I did introducing a horse to a hackamore where I give my thoughts on bitless.
