Jordan Lancaster Ok, I know I always ask this, but can you send a video?😂. It always helps.  There potentially a few different answers.  First I would see if I could rock her weight off of the forehand using only one rein at a time and the leg on the same side.  Make sure to use more leg than rein.  She's hiding from the bridle so pulling harder won't help.  Then, after you can rock her weight back, start to ask for one foot to come off the ground at a time.  Then grow from there.  Make sense?

Justin First leg, then if I don't get a reaction I add the spur.

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 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.🙂
