I want to congratulate you on your clarity. Not just because of the way you handled this topic, but also on the clarity with witch you articulate the words. I am italian and I don't speak well English, but I easily understand you. You seem honest to me, and that is also where your clarity comes from.

[@ltrocha]

Thanks Sarah

[@georgiascott5779]

Excellent information. Spent yrs on riding‘lessons’ and never felt I was getting anywhere. Seems impossible to find a people/horse trainer who gives this kind of information.

[@jrlopez4341]

You are so right I have a friend of mine told me about you on your KZbin channel so I looked you up I’ve been training Horses and Sam 16 I am now 63 and I took lessons from Monty Roberts and I worked at the 4. 6 ranch. But you open my eyes a little more thank you so much so you have gave me a lot more to understand thank you for sharing and being there for us Horseman

[@OFFICIAL-wb4mi]

Thank you so much.

[@user-zp3es4pn6c]

We all have a lot to learn.

[@ltrocha]

Yes, we all do.

[@maeelizabeth123]

I did this with my horse after seeing what you did so that I remember to keep him soft and he remembered his training from long ago.

[@bexfisch80]

See, I'm the opposite: I have terrible hands and I know it 🤣 this was a helpful video to get started on my hand work. Thanks!

[@talonhatch9342]

This is my favorite video you have done

[@ltrocha]

Thank you Talon.

[@sabrinabusler4757]

Thanks Sabrina. I appreciate your feedback

[@sabrinabusler4757]

Larry Trocha Horse Training I am a fan,,I will keep watching ya😉

[@ladyfarrier5949]

Thank you very much for this video!!! I've had to educate many on softness of hands and good leg aids (and I'm only a farrier/horsewoman). So many people have been taught wrong, even by trainers. I actually teach kids and adults by taking a couple leadropes, turn the person away from me while holding a lead in each hand, while I hold the other ends from behind them.... and then I barely move one or the other and have them tell me when they feel it. After I've done it 6-8 times, I have them turn around and I show them how light and subtle my movements were and they're shocked. Then I tell them if you can feel it, so can the horse. No need to wrench on their mouth! I'll be using this video as an example!

[@sibylday]

Thanks, again, for a video that clearly demonstrates what you taught that good looking horse!

[@ltrocha]

Thanks Sibyl. Evidently, I didn't explain the concept good enough as I'm already receiving emails from people who came away with the wrong concept. I may need to make a follow-up video. The folks who really pay attention of "how to use their hands" could get a lot out of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3u4k5x_jd-ga9k

[@meretefrandsen9340]

You are so right 👍 and by The Way what a beautiful horse there 👍

[@kevinferguson3196]

I think a lot of people don't understand that light hands kind of equals the pressure that one horse will give to another horse with the pinning of the ears. Which is a no touch pressure asking for movement from one horse to another. Light hands basically is a feel communicated through the reins with "perceived" pressure but not physical pressure.

[@shadowdancer1412]

Great video. Wish it was longer.

[@ltrocha]

Thanks ShadowDancer. More videos are coming which I think you'll really like.

[@musthate24]

Great videos please keep them coming !!

[@jrlopez4341]

Oh by the way I am a cutter I have cutting horses thank you Larry

[@kidstuff44555]

A lot of people are stuck in this nothing middle ground of average pressure. Pressure should be light, then if that's ignored, as heavy as necessary (bump bump). Reins or legs or anything you do. People who use pressure that is neither light enough at the start, nor heavy enough to act as "a consequence", just end up with horses who ignore them. Because there is no reward, and there is no consequence

[@ltrocha]

You got it, Kid!

[@KFrost-fx7dt]

A lot of horses I rode as a kid were hard in the mouth because of novice riders constantly yanking them around. It's like when you punish a child harshly but don't explain why they are being punished. It is abuse, and the child learns to simply ignore or avoid the parent. Is see it A LOT in English riding. There's no softness there.

[@meirecruz5661]

Muito bom

[@ltrocha]

Thank you, Meire

[@HeatherDMorris]

Larry, do you train horses for people or do you sell the ones you train?

[@ltrocha]

I mostly train horses for people who become a client.

[@HeatherDMorris]

You had a horse for sale 9 years ago "Blacky" and when I saw him I sent the video to the trainer bc he had asked me did i want to get into cutting or reining . I said i want my horse to be like this one ! Your amazing trainer and the horse was awesome.

[@ltrocha]

@@HeatherDMorris Thanks. Yes, he was a good horse.
