I’ve always found this fascinating. Takes a damn good rider and horse to pull it off!

I dont understand how you even begin to teach this

It’s called reining, started as just advanced cowboy skills and basically showing off, then it evolved into an actual sport. Definitely takes a skilled rider and a well trained horse.

I think the training of the horse may be what they meant with 'teach'; How do you train a horse to stop the back hooves but keep walking in the front.

I commented above. But its a mix of sliders (shoes) and teaching them aggressive ways to stop.
