Kate Naff I trot circles in my arena to gain speed control.  That way, I can use trotting circles outside to regain it if I lose it.  The key is to trot enough circles at home so that the horse understands what it means and they can use it to relax.  In the arena at home, just trot until you feel her relax ( I always say the melt like butter😁) then let her walk out.  Works great!🙂

Stephen Gowling sounds promising!  Take good care of that eye and send us some pics when you can.  

Ernest Schrock  I hope you're having a great year so far.  I see a few different ways you could approach this.  You could stay the course with what you're doing.  I'm certain that over time he will relax and settle in, could take a while though.  You could also add another horse near him and gradually move him away while continuing to work him whenever he gets upset.  Or, you could just ignore it.  Whichever way you choose, just stay consistent and don't quit.  He will eventually come around.  Keep us posted on his progress.  Richard

Kelly McAndrews I find that it tends to distract the horse.  I like to focus on teaching the turn strictly from the snaffle bit then I add te leg much later.🙂

Stephen Gowling boy, what a year, huh?  Well, I know you are a resilient chap and will back at it in no time.  We all wish you well and look forward to your input once again on here.  Hopefully you can work out another trip "across the pond" for a visit in '26.  Take care my friend.  Richard

Chloe Mariant How're things going with your Hancock mare?

Kelly McAndrews. Thanks!🙂

Conoly Sullivan Thanks for sharing!  I'm glad to hear about your success.  I'll have to thank JT as well.  If you ever get time, come out and ride with us some time.  Bring your daughter too.  I'll bet she'd love riding with the girls at the barn.🙂

Kimberly Harrison sorry for the late response!  We were on the road for the last couple weeks, but back home now.  Hope you had a wonderful holiday.  On the yearling thing, I don't want clients to do too much with them.  Basically just get them halter broke and quiet.  It is always nice if I can handle their feet and groom them too but I don't want a yearling to be dull and unresponsive which often times comes with too much handling.  I'd say getting them up twice a week and leading, tying, grooming, and picking up their feet would be sufficient.  🙂
