Wanted to say thanks Richard Boatwright for the content and share a success story with my wife's horse. We have roped some off of him and he's tolerated but never been completely good with it. Like good horsemen (sarcasm) we left it go because it's sometimes more fun to rope than it is to work on your horse. Last couple outs he got tangled a little bit and had a couple near wrecks.

We went back through your 'How to Prep a Colt to Rope' exercises and started him back on it the right way. We found quite a few 'resistance' areas which we would not have wanted to find in the saddle! This is him after he eventually decided that the rope attached to his foot was going to kill him.

Thanks again!

Quick (hopefully) question on roping and horse position. Background: 3 man roping - I've headed and dallied a steer and it is on my rope side moving right to left (toward the head of my horse).  What's the appropriate movement to reposition my horse as the steer goes past the head of my horse? A couple options I've tried are 1)Step his shoulders over right to left and 2) step his hindquarters over left to right. Thanks!

We really like your horsemanship principles so we figured they'd make a good reminder on the wall. Used one of our horses as the poster model. Thanks for all the content!
