Bending to a Stop Vs. One-Reined Stop (Stopping From a Canter Part 1)

- Someone recently asked “If you only ask yes questions, how do you teach a horse to stop from a canter? How do you know they will stop when you ask?” In this video, which is part 1 of a 4 part series, I show you where the beginning foundation for that stop from a canter comes from.

LOVE THIS!!!! I practiced this a lot this winter in the arena and it has saved my butt with my young guy taking him on hacks this spring!
He is changing my life, my horse's life and other horses I come across. Very grateful!
My trainer started a version of this on my mare a few weeks ago. It’s been a great success. The one-twin stops didn’t seem to be nearly as effective to keeping her (or getting her to) relaxed.
I highly recommend trying this bending exercise.

What a good horse, sweet Bundy.
Excellent Warwick, thank you
Beautiful background in these last two videos, Warwick. You're improving. I love it! 😉
Excellent - answers a great deal of questions for me.
I'm not a fan of the one rein stop either - used to be - but I began to realize that (besides what you mentioned) it is used as aggressive compensation for not paying attention to threshold, trigger stacking and going too fast in the training. It's much better for everyone to teach the rider to pay attention to those things before they result in a need to use aggressive brakes. Thanks Warwick!
Golden!
Binder is my favorite. Cool video
Thanks - good video.
I’ve been using and practicing bending to a stop for a long time with my once anxious arab that used to bolt. Since I started using this exercise (and your other methods) he’s stopped bolting completely and has turned into a horse that i can put almost anybody on and trust him to be relaxed no matter the situation. Thank you so much for that. I’ve noticed now that whenever he starts to get worried about something he brings his nose around on his own and relaxes his body once he does it, then carries on as relaxed as usual. Is he using this as a way to mentally bring himself back down when he gets nervous?
So helpful!
Hiya Warwick, I'm training my horse through Gareth Mare's programme but love your methods and feel like they tie in very well. We do 1. Breath out 2. Sit deep, 3. Feet forward 4. Reins up (no contact) 5. Bend to a stop. Issue I'm having now is sometimes when I ask for bend, he just stops. Would I practice bending and asking for an upward transition? So say from walk into trot? Not sure if that's separate, isolate and recombine...
Breathe out and sit deep means stop. I dont want them to stop yet, so I dont do that part. Its less about the stop than it is about a lot of other important things.
It would be an honor to just volunteer with mucking at your riding center
I really love your videos and I have watched so many, but I would like to se how you Warwick teach this to another, and not so experiance horse :) greetings from denmark. Will you ever come to Denmark by the way?
Id love to, there were plans to come in 2021 , before Covid hit
Hi Warwick, don't know if you have much experience with the Standardbred but I have a 13 year old mare I've had for nine months now and when we go out on trail she is very forward and jigjogs her back end either on our own or with others, just after some tips on how I can pull her back abit to make it abit more pleasurable.
How long did it take to paint that background? Ha just kidding thank you.
I though I had the bending at the standstill part down.
At the moment it's really soft but if I ask for any kind of duration, the horse will start pulling. It's also only soft at a standstill and at the walk. It gets much much worse at the trot and canter.
I think the problem here is that I didn't wait for the attention and it became an annoyance to the horse.
Not so much irritation as being reinforced when he was thinking forward rather than towards you. It will take patience to retrain this, but it can be done.
Lateral flexion and bending to a stop are two different things. Make sure your lateral flexion is good at a standstill.
To bend for relaxation or bend to a stop you need good steering. To be able to ride on a loose rein, pick up on just one rein and have the horse follow their nose and/or flick an ear.
Everything you need to know is explained on the subscription under “Basic Body Control”.
I find a lot of English riders who don’t agreee with the one rein stop. What would you say to them, I used a one rein stop on haviah once to keep her from bolting up the hill one time. Someone had done it with her besides me because she new how to do it. But at most English barns they tell you not to do it because it will flip them over. What would you say to someone that said that to you.
As I said in the video, I don’t use a one rein stop either
what if your horse has already learned the one-rein stop and pulls his head all the way to your feet?
How do you tell if a horses mind is on you when he has one eye?
Hey! I love your videos & how you train your horses! I have a question for you though. What would you do for a horse that runs through your hands? I’ve tried every bit imaginable, then decided to switch to a hackamore & he does a lot better, but when we get to a fast lope/ gallop, he will barely listen to any of my direction cues. Any advice is appreciated! God bless! 😊
What I do in this video is the key, work on those things and get them good at the standstill, then at the walk, then at the trot, then eventually at the canter.
WarwickSchiller Thank you so much!!
My horse was one reined stop to death. She cocks her head, her ears are not level. How do I fix that???
Where could I purchase your hackamore with reins?
The bosal? In Australia we are limited on the western gear we have, so most would get something online. Depends where you are, some horse tack shops will have it.
@@andreabyrne6527 thank you for the information
If you’re trying to do that on a slippery surface or going really fast you’re going to land on your side. Besides if the horse is well trained enough to do what he just did you shouldn’t have a problem stopping it in the first place 🤦♀️
You won’t land on your side if you do this correctly. Bending to a stop should slowly bring your horse to a stop, if you yank their head to their side then yeah you might fall. Being able to laterally flex your horse shouldn’t only be a trait of an incredibly broke horse. Every colt I’ve ever started learns this as part of their groundwork before ever having a rider, because as demonstrated it’s very useful skill. Also maybe don’t train on a slippery surface if your horse isn’t reliable.
Mariah Shivers well I train jumpers, and for that you need to have full control over each stride no matter what direction you’re going. If you have to bend them to slow them down you’re missing the next jump, lol. If you cannot stop or slow down your horse on a straight line, it’s just lack of skill of the rider.
@@beatemueller7830 yeah, sure
