Reining
In this lesson recap, Jeremy LaRose shows how I build a young horse from basic forward motion into soft, balanced circles that eventually support counter canter. Watch the full episode for the on-horse timing and shape changes.
Reining
Jeremy LaRose breaks down how I use shoulder control, outside rein guidance, and a soft, correct backup to improve turns, straightness, and lope transitions in reining horses.
Reining
In this reining and western-pleasure lesson recap, Jeremy LaRose shows how I use circles, lane control, and neck softness to build a greener horse that can lope straighter, stay between my hands and feet, and carry herself in a more showable frame.
Trail
In this episode, I show how I build an indirect turn from the ground up: shoulder control, rib softness, and a horse that learns to yield without bracing. It starts simple, but it creates the foundation for cleaner turns, better transitions, and more advanced maneuvering later on.
Reining
In this reining lesson, I break down flying lead changes as a simple weight transfer problem, then show how straightness, body control, and quiet leg placement create a cleaner change.
Colt Starting
In this reining lesson, Jeremy LaRose shows how I build a soft, correct backup by asking for better shoulders, straighter steps, and more thoughtful responses. I also use backing to improve lope-to-stop transitions and prepare for later steering corrections.
