Great question, Jamie. I'll add the outside rein when the horse understands the direct rein. If we add the outside rein while he still has resistance to the direct rein, we'll just confuse him more.

Lucas G Truax Ha!  Close enough!

So cool! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Mike,  I just try to get them worked 5 days a week.  I try not to have expectations about anything.  Sometimes it can take 15 minutes and others might be 2 hours.  The length of the ride depends on how quickly we can overcome the resistance for that day.  It's riding them 5 days and giving them 2 days off that's crucial.  Hope this helps.  Have a great day.

Hi Zak,  The video on pulling back is on the site now.  Check it out and let me know if it helps.  Good luck, Richard

Jared Reynolds I'll get right on it.  

thanks!

Hi Jared,  I use a lariat rope to introduce the cinch and flank.  I've found it to be useful for sure.  I also use a "cinch rig".  Just a cinch with a billet attached so I can tie the blanket down while they move around the first few times.  I don't use breast collars much (unless roping bigger stock), but it's probably a good idea for the colts.

Hi Dale, check out the new Elvis videos up now.  Richard

Hi Dale,  we have several colts in the hopper and we'll be uploading them asap.  Look for a new Elvis video tomorrow.  

The black rope is my get down or "neck rope". Basically a lead rope tied around the horse's neck and run through the curb strap. The other piece is a running martingale. The martingale helps keeps my cues consistent. Hope this helps!
