Improving Body Control
Fall 2025
|Horse and Rider
Body control is an essential skill for every rider.
The more you can influence your horse's movements, the greater overall control you'll have. That control gives you the tools you need to handle challenges, whether you're approaching a spooky obstacle on the trail and need your horse to move his feet or you need the finesse to compete in an event like reining.
These tools in your toolbox are going to be applied differently depending on the day and what your horse is struggling with. One day you might be struggling with your turn and have to work on fixing a shoulder. The next day your horse might be tight in his front end, causing him not to stop properly. Either way, it’s the same set of tools—you're just applying them differently depending on what your horse needs that day.

Ranch Sorting Drills For a Dull Horse
Some horses are born eager to hunt a cow, while others—no matter how broke—would rather conserve energy and hang back. A horse that's dull to your leg or slow to react can make working a cow frustrating and unproductive. The goal isn't just to get through the run—it's to teach your horse to drive up into a cow with purpose and maintain forward momentum without constant kicking or nagging from you.
