Brett Petersen nope, just your standard horsemanship flag from Teskeys.

Brett Petersen Oh, that's a 1/2" by 20' double braid nylon.  We sell them on our gear page. 🤠

Brett Petersen. Which rope are you asking about?

Hunter Green Sorry for the late response!  Did you find some rope?  

Chloe Mariant I just read my response to Hunter Green and I agree, it was vague😓!  Ok, in the beginning, I want the horse to turn in to me so that I am sure that I have 100% of his attention.  Once I have established that the stop means give me your attention, I start teaching the horse to stop straight and NOT turn.  When I start riding Neches, I want him to stop straight so I teach him that from the ground.  You'll notice that Neches does learn to stop straight, but also LOOKS inward to me.  That is the ideal situation.   It tells me that Neches not only understands that he should be focused on me, but also tells me that he understands that he should stop straight.  I find that a horse that is only taught to turn inward will turn in their stops while being ridden as well.  We call that "scaffolding" when we can build one concept onto another and get good results.  Was that better?🙂.

Chloe Mariant that one is a 15 1/2" Jeff Smith ranch cutter.🙂

Tyrell J Smith Hope you didn't get hurt.  That has happened to me more times than I can count.  We like to think that the people in our business are honest, but the opposite is often the case.  Oh well.  AS DB would say, on to the next one.  🤠

Stephen Gowling She'd love him for sure!

Stephen Gowling He's cool!  Can't wait to see you ride him!😜 No doubt he will be very well taken care of, he's lucky you spotted him.  Keep us updated on his progress.  He'll sort of be our mascot!😂

Akmal Grant  good point.  Just hold until he stops moving his feet.  Try to get one thing at a time.  If he just wants to walk around in circles, hold your pressure until you feel him want to stop, then release.  Don't be picky.  If you feel any kind of change that makes you think he might want to stop, release, then pick it back up again.  Once he'll stand quietly, you can work on the rest.  Good luck!
