Practical Guide to Balanced Stops 30 minutes, DVD and VHS formats. The only documented method to stop all types of horses at any speed.
Whenever I have a discussion with trainers about stops, the focus is always the big slide and the great horse that could do it. My experience teaching thousands of students has proven that what you folks need is the BALANCED STOP. It works on any horse, on any ground, but does not create a habit in either horse or rider that will have a negative effect if you ever wish to develop a reining horse.
Slow motion removes any doubt about how horses actually stop, whether it’s National Finals Calf Roping horses, the top reiners of today or students learning how to improve their stops.
Learn how slide plates work and why the ground can have an overwhelming effect on the mechanics of the stop. This video gives you the techniques to gradually build great BALANCED STOPS.

Dismount Sequence:
The user friendly appeal of the basic handle system as demonstrated by Karen Parvin, past intercollegiate all around champion, on a horse trained by another student, Bill Maher. The progressive nature of this system makes balanced stops possible without riding the horse for weeks.
Sliding Stop Sequence:
Another example of the user friendly appeal of the Basic Handle system as demonstrated by Jim Parvin, champion bronc rider in his youth, on a horse trained by Bill Maher, also a Horse Wyse Instruction student. Sequence photos show the reality of the balanced stop. The video “Practical Guide to Balanced Stops” explains this in detail.
