Sliding Stops

KW Saddlery


There are several factors that influence the length of a horse's slide.

They are:

#1. The horse's natural ability and aptitude for stopping.

#2. The ground the horse is stopping on.

#3. The way the horse is shod.

#4. The horse's rate of speed when going into the stop.

#5. The way the rider cues the horse for the stop (how the reins are worked, rider's posture, etc.).
