The Key to Creating Powerful Maneuvers - Load and Unload

15X World Champion Les Vogt explains the theory of how your  approach to any maneuver "loads" the horse up, and lets you allow him to "unload" in the maneuver. Take the stress out of everything you ask  your horse to do by making sure that he's prepared and positioned for success! Applies to every type of riding including Les's specialties of  reining and reined cow horse. 

Les Vogt talks about training a horse for Lead changes. Sample  from over 6 hours of video in Les Vogt's Cowhorse U Maneuvers Level Program. Great advice for reining training or horse training of any kind.

NRCHA Hall of Fame Trainer Les Vogt explains the reason behind  the two-rein phase in the traditional approach to bridling a reined cow horse. In the traditional approach the horse is first trained in thesnaffle bit, and then moved to the hackamore for additional training.  When that is done the transition into the bridle is made with the assistance of a bosalito, or small version of the hackamore. In this segment Les explains why this is important and shows how he uses the set up to reinforce the horse's neck reining.
