Justin I want her to stop and think.  Does he want me to take off running or maybe just do nothing.  Many problem trail horses will over react to the cues we give them.  Teaching them to think a little will help them to relax.

Matthew Albus We'll see what we can do🤠

Matthew Albus the next thing depends on what you want to do.   Sliding stop?  Cow stop?  Heeling?  Once they start using themselves correctly, you can start doing whatever it is you want to do and come back to this foundation if it gets sloppy.

Greg Holm nice filly.

Greg Holm What gate is she kicking at?  The lope or just walking?  Sounds like she needs to trot a few miles.  Can you send a video?  Richard

Jordan Lancaster I just had another thought.  Have you tried teaching her a verbal cue from the ground so that you can use it from her back?  It might help.

Lucas Truax. I should've read your comment first!😂. Spot on.

Jordan Lancaster Ok, I know I always ask this, but can you send a video?😂. It always helps.  There potentially a few different answers.  First I would see if I could rock her weight off of the forehand using only one rein at a time and the leg on the same side.  Make sure to use more leg than rein.  She's hiding from the bridle so pulling harder won't help.  Then, after you can rock her weight back, start to ask for one foot to come off the ground at a time.  Then grow from there.  Make sense?

Justin First leg, then if I don't get a reaction I add the spur.
