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?

Hello, I am mentoring under you Richard, without you knowing it...lol! I am learning so much about riding colts and just improving my horsemanship. My husband and I are ranchers and I ride colts on the side. I wouldn’t call myself a trainer but a student of making good horses. I recently bought two colts that are full brothers. One is a long yearling and the other is a 2 yr old with 30 days, and it looks like 30 good days, lol. They are Gunnatrashya, Reminic, Nic it in the bud. Both are really gentle and need to learn to be a bit more responsive. What are some exercises or things I can do to get that quick response without a lot of spurring or frustration😳. We move our cattle to different pastures throughout the winter so I want to start taking the two year old Anything outside I can do to quicken things up?

Thanks again for posting all these videos! I refer to them often

Hello! I’m Shelbe and I just joined here! I’m a young but fiercely passionate horse enthusiast. I just got done with my 7th year coaching the high school Interscholastic horsemanship team here in Wisconsin and can really get back in my own saddle now! I have lots of horse experience but I’m always looking to learn more. I’ve sold my good using horses, bought some broodmares and right now my focus is raising up my home bred stallion that I have big hopes for! Plans are for him to step into his first ranch horse show next fall and I’d love some help keeping him on track and utilizing the videos and knowledge here! Pictures are of Amerrican Sensation aka Panzi, my 2019 stallion.
