Hi guys, I really appreciate all the content suggestions. We'll knock those out ASAP. I wanted to offer something to you guys as members. My wife and I have been in the horse and cattle business a long time and over the years we've learned quite a bit about the business side. Let's have a discussion about costs, billing, investments, customer relations, advertising, employees, or taxes. Any questions?

Do you guys have any sweatshirts?

What is the purpose of roping a colt? Is it just to desensitize? I’ve roped a colt to catch them. But usually when I have them comfortable with being caught I don’t rope them. What does “sacked out” mean?

Hello friends, Nat and I have been discussing ideas for future content and we are looking for suggestions. Do any of you have a specific video request? Maybe a problem you're having or just something you'd like to see on the site?

Richard,

I was curious about the reasoning behind your backhanded flag work. If you're moving a horse to the left, you have the flag in your left hand. Its counter to what I do. I was wondering if its just a preference or if there is a functional purpose for it.

Thanks

Hello Friends, I hope each of you are well and enjoying your Christmas Eve. Like most of the country, we are currently having a bit of a cold spell which made chores this morning a beast. I know some of you are having record low temps so I thought I'd reach out and check on y'all. What's your current temperature? Lowest temp gets a free B1 hat!

I bought an 11 year old quarter horse who has an issue with backing up. We bought him as a rope prospect but he needs to be able to back up and he rears up if you try to back him up a few steps. I can get him to back up 2 or 3 steps anything after that he’s in the air or throwing his head. I’m open for any suggestions. I’m planning on working with him but I’m looking for some advice. Thanks

I have a gelding that pulls back and is scared of a spray bottle in front of his shoulders. What’s the best thing I can do to help him get over it?

Richard,

Do you work on any ranch-roping at your clinics?
