 "Top
Five Myths About
Cutting Horses"
By Larry Trocha
A
pro's advice about what it takes for a horse
to be successful in the cutting
arena. Hi Ruth,
Larry Trocha again.
Thought
I'd better send this email to clear a few things up about my new training video...
TEACH YOUR HORSE TO STOP LIGHT & COLLECTED,
VOLUME 1.5
First,
I'd like to thank all the people who placed their order for the video.
Right after I sent out the announcement that it was ready, we received a ton of
orders.
Luckily, we were prepared. I had stocked up on inventory so everybody
will get their
DVDs fast.
AT THE SAME TIME, I also received a bunch
of questions from folks who did NOT order.
They said the reason they hadn't
ordered is because they're unsure about what the new
video contains.
Most of these questions were from people who had purchased my FIRST stopping video,
STOP LIGHT & COLLECTED, VOLUME 1.
They want to know if VOLUME 1.5
is brand NEW content or just a REHASH of the
information contained in VOLUME
1.
Sure can't blame them for wanting to know that. I wouldn't want to
spend my money for
the same repeated information either.
So, just
to clear things up, I thought I'd better address these concerns in this email.
Let me start by assuring you, the information in VOLUME 1.5 is NEW.
The footage is new. The explanations are new. And the demonstrations are new.
(You will
love the demonstrations. You'll learn more from them than any I've
ever done).
When I make a new training video, the upper-most thing
in my mind is to give the viewer
a lot of value... To make a video that is
worth watching... A video that actually teaches
what I say it'll teach.
This new stopping video is no exception.
I believe it's hands-down,
the MOST INFORMATIVE video I've ever made. I really mean that.
I believe you
will learn more about horse training from this new video than any other video
I've produced.
If you are truly interested in training your horse to
stop well, I just don't think you can find
better instruction anywhere.
So, if you're still undecided about ordering, let me put your mind at ease
by offering you a...
SPECIAL, NO-RISK DEAL.
Here it is:
Go ahead and order the DVD and watch it...
Then, saddle up your
horse and put the training methods to the acid test.
After trying out
the information, if you don't feel this is the best video you've ever seen on
the subject of training horses to stop...
I'll IMEDIATELY give you ALL
your MONEY BACK.
That's right, a FULL 100% REFUND.
I'll even
take a LOSS on the deal and return the SHIPPING CHARGES too.
However,
there is ONE catch...
To get the refund, you first have to call me on
the PHONE and tell me the TITLE of the
video that you SINCERELY feel does
a BETTER job of instruction.
Do that one thing, and I'll immediately
give you a refund... with no hard feelings whatsoever.
We'll still be friends.
And yes, I do realize a few unscrupulous people are going to call just to
scam me.
Well, I can't help that. But hopefully this special deal will take
the risk out of it for
all the honest people.
Okay that's the deal.
Act now and start putting the kind of stop on your horse that you've always
dreamed of.

© 2004 Larry Trocha During
my career as a professional horse trainer, I’ve heard horse owners tell all kinds
of reasons why they think their horse could be a winner in the cutting arena.
Unfortunately, when it comes to cow horses, a lot of folks are misinformed as
to what is fact and what is fiction. And
of course, any time you're talking about horses, there are always exceptions to
the rule. But, for the most part… Here are a few of the most common myths. Myth
#1. My colt should really make a great cutter. Whenever our "dog" goes into
the pasture, the colt chases him around and works him just like cutting a cow.
(For the word “dog” you could substitute “goat”, “another horse”, “a person” or
“whatever”). I wouldn’t
enter him up at the Fort Worth futurity just yet. Here’s the usually disappointing
truth. The dog isn’t a cow… The colt is doing this without a rider on his back…
And most importantly, the colt is doing this activity without any rules he has
to adhere to. In reality, there are a lot of colts that like to have fun chasing
something around. It’s play, pure and simple. It’s
another thing entirely for a colt to become a cutter. First of all, the newness
of working the cow will wear off and the training will eventually become work.
When the colt finds out he has to work the cow with precision, form and style,
he might not want to do it. That’s
why it’s so important your cutting prospect is bred to be a cutter. If the sire
and dam have the attributes to be successful in the cutting arena, the colt has
a lot better chance of being successful also. Myth
#2. My colt should make a great cutter. I rode him out to gather some cattle
for the first time and he was really good. He wasn’t bothered or scared
by the cattle and acted like it was nothing new at all. Like
I said earlier, there are always exceptions to the rule. But, when a colt doesn’t
show much of a reaction to a cow it usually means he’s not going to be a good
one. Every top cutting horse I’ve ever trained, either was fearful of the cow
and wanted to keep a safe distance from it or was aggressive towards the cow and
wanted to dominate it. The
1990 NCHA futurity champion, Millie Montana, was the dominant kind. The very first
time I worked her on a cow she wanted to take charge. Her head went down, her
ears went back and everything about her body language told the cow that she was
the boss. The great NCHA
world champion mare, Doc N Missy, was the exact opposite. She was in my string
when I was working for Gene Suiter in Arizona. I’ll never forget her reaction
the first time I introduced her to a cow. She was so scared of it she literally
tried to jump out of the arena. The
cow would be 150 feet away down at the other end of the arena, but that was too
close for comfort for her. It actually took a couple months before she got confident
enough to move the cow. Myth
#3. My colt should make a great cutter. He is 99% foundation bred. His bloodlines
trace back to Wimpy P1 five times on the top side and three times on the bottom.
Those old foundation horses were real cow ponies. |
| Now, if you own a
foundation bred horse, don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way. Our topic
here is modern-day "competition" cutting. I've ridden plenty of
foundation bred horses that would definitely work a cow. But... If
you go to any of the top cutting trainers and ask them to describe what it’s like
to try to get one of these old-time “foundation bred” horses to cut, here
is the answer you’ll get 9 out of 10 times: -
Most
don’t have enough cow or intensity to make it in modern-day cutting competition.
-
They’re difficult to train for today's type
of cutting. For example, they either learn too slow to be ready for the futurity
or they want to argue too much.
-
If you
manage to overcome A and B, it's still tough to win because many of them don’t
have the athletic ability and style of modern-day cutting horses. If
you want your colt to be a good cutter, the least you can do is make sure he comes
from bloodlines that produce good cutters. And yes, there are horses that are
exceptions to the rule, but they are few and far between. Myth
#4. My colt should make a great cutter. I’m going to put him in training with
this hot shot trainer for six months and have him shown at the cutting futurity.
Actually, this is a misconception a lot of
people have about training a cutting horse. It takes a long time to get a horse
to the point of being "showable" at a contest. To have a colt ready for a futurity
takes a minimum of 18 months of training. If the colt is
an exceptionally fast learner, you might get lucky and have him ready in just
one year. This means to have a colt ready to compete in the fall futurities as
a 3year old, he needs to be started on cattle in early spring of his 2 year old
year. Owners are afraid of starting their colts that young,
fearing injury to the colt from starting him too early. In reality, a good trainer
never works a young colt very hard. The idea is to give the colt a solid foundation
built slowly so there is no stress. When this is done right, seldom will a colt
get hurt. Myth #5. I’m going to buy my first cutting horse and take him to a show next week-end.
I should do pretty well. After all, cutting horses are trained to work on their
own. The rider doesn't have to do anything but hang on. I
sure wish it was that simple. It would make my job as trainer and coach much easier.
It’s true, cutting horses are trained to work on their own. However, the rider
has a "big" influence on how well the horse works. An inexperienced
rider can cause even the best cutting horse to make mistakes. The most common
ones are… rounding the turns, missing the stop and being out of sync with the
cow. Most new cutters don’t realize they could ruin their horse if they don’t
learn to ride correctly in a relatively short period of time. The
best plan is to find a knowledgeable coach that will help you learn to ride your
cutter the right way. If

"Larry Trocha's videos contain more "How
To" instruction than any videos we've seen. Definitely the most detailed" |
| | |  Hi
– I’m Larry Trocha.
Over
many years working with cutting, reining and working cow horses, I've developed
a new training program designed to teach horses to stop, spin, rollback, change
leads and work cattle. I
am happy to share this specialized knowledge with you through my series of training
videos. |
My videos are different than
most. Why? Because they are very detailed and show, step by step, how to thoroughly
train the horse. I show how the training techniques are actually applied in real
life schooling sessions. In other words, you'll see horses making mistakes
and how to correct those mistakes. My
videos also teach the rider how to use his hands, legs and seat to achieve top
performance. The instruction is very thorough, yet easy to understand | |
