Just wanna say thank you to the b1 crew. Changed my entire program on starting horses. Been a massive fan and study every video. Best program and has helped me make some people very happy with having a good solid safe horse with an incredible foundation. Have a beautiful weekend!!
Thank you Mr boatwright and family and crew!!
I appreciate you

We’re now up to 5 rides on this 14 year old I had so many struggles with when she came in. She’s starting to come around. Still gets some attitude here and there. I’d really start to like working on getting her to give to the leg pressure. She does sometimes so I try to reward her quickly. Other times I feel her pushing against it. I’ve got 2 more months to get her ready to go back to the rescue and be adoption ready.
Wednesday night we will be live again
We're three weeks in now and I'm starting to think this Wednesday thing might stick.
If you haven't jumped on one of these yet, it's pretty simple, I go live from the ranch, you show up, we talk. Questions about your horse, what's going on here at the Canadian River Ranch, whatever's on your mind. Last week we had a good conversation going and a few of you had your cameras on, which made it feel more like a real conversation and less like a webinar.
This week is Wednesday, June 17. 6:00 PM Mountain, 7:00 PM Central, 8:00 PM Eastern. Link is in the Uscreen event page.
This is just for you guys heres the link be there or be square! https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84445216161?pwd=STofvjZEJYpRJc8tC5fzMQkvyEG2ow.1 Come ready to talk.
Be one, Richard 🤠
Hello all. I hope everyone is having a great summer so far. Things are going good for us here in North Park. We finished receiving cattle yesterday and are now gearing up for branding season which is always a highlight. Nat and the kids will be here next week so I'm very excited for that. All the horses are doing great and I couldn't be happier about that, too! I wanted to take a few minutes to welcome all the new members and this week it's a long list! I'm so grateful to all of you guys for making B1 what it is. We are very blessed to have you.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give you a heads up, we kicked off a new ongoing series called Track and Rate: Building a Rope Horse.
Tracking is going the same direction. Rating is going the same speed. Two of the most fundamental things any saddle horse needs, and honestly it goes all the way back to leading. A horse that leads properly is already tracking and rating you. This is just a more advanced version of that same thing, now applied to a calf instead of a person.
Day one is up, split into two parts. Part one is establishing the rate. Part two is building the track.
We'll keep building on this one day by day. If you're working on something similar with your own horse, let us know how it's going. Curious to hear what you're running into.
You guys are always welcome to reach out and ask questions, don't be strangers.
So I’ve got a little gelding here, he’s a 4 year old highbrow cat.
Is it true they’re all a little touchy? 😆 he’s the kinda guy that loves humans but also snorts at absolutely everything! I’ve had him for about 5 months he’s getting better but he thinks everything is out to get him.
Rescue mare- first ride. Finally got the first ride on this rescue mare im training. 14 years young. Had her teeth done today and by the work that was done she’d probably never seen a dentist.
Hey!
I’ve got a nice 2 yr old AQHA Colt I’m bringing along. He’s a lot like the horse “neeches”. I got the first saddling done, he bronced out quite a bit to be honest hahah. Anywho, now when I go to throw on the saddle, and the stirrups, etc., fall on the opposite side he is veryyyyyy sensitive. When I did do the first saddle, he bucked good but by the end of the session he was working well with it. Just curious if there’s anything specific I should do to get him more “comfortable” with things being on his back. He’s completely fine with the saddle pad and cinch combo, I’ve flanked him, and had ropes all over him. Is it a matter of me getting more confident in letting him bronc out?
We're going live again tonight. 6pm mountain. Bring your questions and complaints😂! Hope to see you there.
