Terri Stegmiller Welcome and thanks!  Stay warm up there and keep us posted when you get back to work.  🙂

Terri Stegmiller Welcome! You can use those techniques to help with almost any leading issue, no arena necessary.  The goal is to just keep the horse's attention on you at all times. Keep us posted.🙂

I think it will take folks getting vocal.  Most of our industry likes to bury our heads in the sand, myself included.

Aaron Olson we're working on it. We've had a few set backs that are hopefully behind us now.  I think we have 13 or 14 days in the can so as soon as this rain is through, we'll wrap it up.  Thanks for checking on it!🤠

John Ball Hi John.  I hope you guys are well!  My neck ropes are about 20' in length.  The stopper knot really depends on what I've go going on that day.  If the horse really wants to put some distance between us, I'll let it out to the end.   If not, it'll be closer.  🙂

Stephen Gowling That's so cool!  How was her aim?  

The Code doesn't necessarily mean that the horse must stop moving his feet and face up.  I eventually want them to travel around the pen with their attention on me.  So, I start that process by gently asking him to continue moving while staying on me.  Make sense?

Chloe Mariant Because I have several horses to work and I need the pen.  🙂

I wouldn't let that bother me.  Start quiet refers to you and your attitude.  If you stand there quietly and she wants to run around, by all means let her.  If she wants to come to the middle, that's ok.  Just ask her to stay out of your space.   You know, ask her to stop 5 or 6 feet before she gets to you.  Keep us posted on your progress.  Richard
