“11th Grade - Q & A”
Stopping your horse correctly is one of the most important skills you can develop, and in this video, Michael Gascon (The Horse Guru) breaks down the do’s and don’ts of teaching your horse to stop. Whether you ride a gaited horse, a hot horse, or a cold horse, these techniques will help you achieve a soft, controlled, and reliable stop without relying on a bigger bit.
You’ll learn:
✅ How to use leg on / leg off for better communication.
✅ Why you should avoid stopping with only your hands.
✅ The correct way to lock your hands and sit back for a clean stop.
✅ Why you should change directions or wait before moving off again.
✅ How backing improves the stop (extra credit!).
Michael demonstrates how to set your horse up for success, teaching them to stop on a dime without resistance. With the right technique, you can get any horse soft in the face, responsive to your cues, and ready to slide like a pro.
