[QUOTE="chippie, post: 332509, member: 5644"] Are you familiar with B.F. Yeates? He teaches you to circle your horse spiraling the circle smaller and smaller until the horse steps over (crosses over) it's front legs. The horse's head should be down with it's nose tipped slightly to the inside.It will plant a hind foot when it does it. You cue with your outside leg while doing it. Once it takes one cross over step ask it to walk forward then start another spiral, down until it crosses. You will reach a point where the horse can plant the hind leg and pivot. Once the horse can pivot, they you can work on speed. Teaching the horse to side pass helps too. The horse learns to move away from your leg. To teach a horse to stop on it's haunches, be sure that it knows that whoa means stop right now, not a couple of steps later. Choose the same spot to stop him. When he does not stop on his haunches back him a few steps. Work slowly at first. After you start increasing speed, if the stop is weak. quickly back a few steps making sure that the horse is soft in the poll and is not leaning on the bit. I know that some reining trainers have a piece of plywood on their arena fence that they run to for practicing stops. If you have the horse shod, be sure that it has shoes on all 4 feet. Having shoes on the front feet only will teach a horse to stop on it's front. :) I hope that you get some other suggestions and advice because what works for one, may not be best for another.
