Justin I'm applying pressure to the side that coincides with the rein. It helps them to understand to come back without having to get heavy on the rein.

Jessie Dillon thank you for the kind words!  I like to have a little speed control on them first.  Just light easy forward motion.  I also want to be able to touch them all over with a flag.  Then, I'll put a rope around their heart girth and introduce pressure and gauge their response and sack them out good with a blanket.  Then if all those things go well, I'll go to the cinch rig.  Keep us updated on your progress.🤠

Jessica Walker I'd say no more than 4" from the mouthpiece to the rein ring.

Jessica Walker 😂. We're here for moral support if you need us.🤠

Justin Most of the day usually.  at least a couple hours per day.

Jessica Walker I like a short shank snaffle or a short shank correction to transition with.  You might also consider looking for the same mouthpiece you're currently using with a shank on it.  Make sense?🙂

Jessica Walker I forced my left handed kids to learn to rope right handed!😂 Really though, there are some lefty ropers out there, but they are hard to rope with.  Much easier righty.🙂

Red any progress this weekend?

Justin no water at the tie rail, but I'll offer them some water after we get done working if it's hot.

Lauren Felkins great news!  I think you have to upload the video to YouTube then share the link here.  If you can get it figured out we'd love to see it.🙂
