This video is a training on: How to train a horse to do a rollback. Keys to teach your horse back.

The ROLLBACK, done correctly, is essentially a 180-degree turn where the horse moves fluidly on the hindquarters and begins going the other direction. Leg positioning, hand positioning, and timing are all critical components of teaching and accomplishing the rollback.

I divided the rollback process into three parts. A compelling and fluid restoration process emerges when put together seamlessly and confidently. First, we need to locate the legs and arms.

Position 1 cues the shoulders - turn your toes out, and reach your spur toward the front cinch.
Position 2 cues the ribcage - place your spur in the middle of the front and back cinch (generally where your leg normally rests)
Position 3 cues the hindquarters - slide your foot back toward the back cinch

Hand Positioning:
Keep your hands low toward the saddle horn, and slow.

I like to use 3 different exercises to help teach the rollback. Each of these 3 exercises is completed on a 20-30 foot circle.

Let's watch the video together to do it. This video helps give you and your horse a solid foundation to fall back on.

Wish you have exciting experiences on the trails you go to!
