Hello, I just joined. I'm loving these videos so far. I'm from NE Indiana and just purchased a Pitzer-bred weanling. I've had other weanlings before and we used them for trail riding. I would like to do more work with Bristol (filly) in the ranch-type classes and work.

So far, I brush and pick up her feet and pick them out each day. She is doing really well with this. She has had one trim and did okay. Kinda of wiggly but she is only 7 months old. She will yield her hindquarters by stepping over about three steps. She backs up. We are working on the trailer loading and accepting clippers. She will pony off my trail horse. I've also taken her for a walk in the woods by herself.

My question is about how much "training" How much time should I do with her each day?

I attached a picture of her playing in the round pen. She is a bit dirty because of course she rolled.

We had a great lesson today both on and off cattle. Lisa and Jennie both knocked it out of the park! Good job guys!

I have an older mare that I bought as broke. All lies haha. I have been using your tips and videos to great success so far with her leading and standing still under saddle and still for farrier. I have hit a lull with her under saddle. She is still when I mount but as soon as I apply pressure to move forward she stiffens her legs and turns to try and bite. She does the same if trying to turn her with the reins. Please help lol

This is the 3:10 Ranch Life string grazing on a desert meadow. I though y'all might enjoy this shot. Have a great Sunday! Richard

If anyone else begins having issues with videos playing (e.g. slowness/jerky playback) you may have to switch to a browser besides Edge/IE. A recent update appears to have screwed up video playback in Edge. I switched to Firefox and the playback issues were resolved.
