Good morning all, I want to go ahead and apologize to all yall that I let down this week with the livestream.  Believe me when I tell you that I would've rather been with yall than where I was😕!  Anyhow, those days are behind us now and we will be back on track this next Wednesday so plan on being there if you can. 

We have a whole new batch of B1 members to welcome so let's get to it, shall we?

Zac B., Jim C., Cole K., Brad L., Eli S., Sonja, James F., Luca C.Joe R., Justin M., Lydia J., Emma-Louise, Bradley C D., James L., Tell H., Krissy D. Glad to have you guys!

Hi Richard, as a kid from Colorado, I know that any unplanned trip to CSU with a horse is not a good trip to take. Hope all went well for you and the horse.

Hey guys,  So sorry for cancelling the live tonight.  I had something come up.  I'll share details next week.  RB

Hey guys,

Join us on the live stream tonight, Wed, July 22! We'll talk about horses, what you're working through, and what's worked for you — or whatever else comes up. These have been a lot of fun and seem to keep getting better every week since we started. Looking forward to getting to know more of you.

Here is the link the the call

Try to hop on early if you can!

Be one,

Hey everyone! 

I have a 2 yr old AQHA Colt I’m bringing along, I’ve saddled him about 6 times now. Every single time he bucks his ass off🫠 I end the session with him working under saddle well. But there seems to be something I’m missing that’s bugging him. Wondering what I could do to help him through this. 

I’ve flanked him, roped his feet, worked him with the cinch rig extensively, sacked him out, can throw a tarp on him, can put my own weight on his back, he’s very very quiet but the saddle seems to be scary to him every time. 

Couple things to mention, he seems to be more sensitive on his right side though I have mainly worked through that, can be a tad lazy, I have concerns about him getting “dull”.

If anyone has any insight let’s hear it! Would love to hear from you Richard, I know we chatted on live about this colt a month or so ago.

And we're back.  Sorry for disappearing on you guys!  Things have been a little crazy the last 7 days, but we're back on schedule now.  Did anyone get into anything fun this past weekend?

Constructive feedback here. B1 has immensely helped my training on my horses. 

However, when my horse has a specific issue, the search function is rarely useful. I usually give up and find the equivalent free video B1 has posted on youtube and even then I cant search the main site to find the extended version of the same video I found on youtube (even when I now i know the title of the video!) 

Very frustrating, and limits the utility of the service for me. 

Hey Richard what section are you sitting in at the rodeo tomorrow tomorrow? 

Have a great 7 year old gelding part Hancock QH.  Smart, curious, all the things you'd want except one.  He already has arthritis in right hock. Nothing in a PPE and no real issue for nearly a year but now it's a clear issue.  He can walk all day up and down small hills but with a rider anything more is painful...he'll do it if I push after extended warm up but it doesn't go far.  

I'm asking for some recommendations.  

1. He is protective of that side(his right) so I've been doing more from that side to help him get more comfortable with it. On his left he is great with sidepass...but his right is just sticky.  Any recommendations with that?

2. Since he has arthritis, I've focused on making him the best at what he can do and that's led to obstacles. I don't have access to much land and we're usually riding alone. Would love recommendations beyond the standard obstacles and any other activities to engage his feet and mind.  

Thanks very much.
