Hey Lucas. As usual, it depends!😂😂😂. If the cow is already moving, I want my horse to move his front end. That does a few things for me:
It gives the calf room to come by closer to me so I can improve my chances of catching.
It gets my horse's feet moving in case I need to jump him forward to get my dally. A lot of times their feet get stuck in the ground if I move the hip over.
It gets my horse set on his hocks if I need to really shut the calf down.
If I need to get the calf moving, I'll move my horse's hip over so I can use it to get a little forward motion on the calf. Basically squeezing it forward while setting up my shot.
Hope this helps!
