hi my name is alisa, i have a horse that does stay in the turn by himself but when he is turning to the left he kind of hops up like a small rear to continue de turn. i am not pulling on him or anything i can even put my reins around the saddlehorn if i want to and he will stay in the spin, but my only problem is that hopping up how can i corect that?

Alisa Cassandra Brink walk forward in the direction of the turn or trot sounds like you are losing forward motion.

A horse will hop in the spin when he is pivoting on the wrong hind foot. He's hopping to keep from entangling his two hind feet. The horse in the video featured above is not holding the inside hind (which should be the pivot foot), and not getting tangle up, because he is walking sideways with both hind feet in a similar motion as the front feet are moving. The number one most common factor causing spin problems, is the horse rocking back and not stay forward in the direction of the spin.

It's one thing for the horse to leave the circle of the spin, it's a whole other matter for the horse to stay forward in the direction of the spin. If your horse will stay forward in the direction of the spin, he or she can't help but do it correctly, because, the laws of physics dictate that.

I've had this happen in show situations. My horse interpreted my cue as being for a roll back. Start slowly with your cue so the horse doesn't misinterpret the cue.
