Commented on Roping your colt

"Sacking out" comes from the open range days when a cowboy would rub his horse all over with a burlap sack to desensitize him.  We use flags, saddle blankets, tarps, etc to get the job done today.  Most of the supplies found around the ranch or wagon came in a burlap sack.  Hardware, potatoes, grain, just about anything.  They were also used as saddle blankets or bedroll blankets, too.  Sorry, I forgot to mention this earlier.

Aside from catching one, I rope horses to teach them that there's nothing to be afraid of and to give to the pressure.  I've found the more you rope them, the more relaxed they become.

That sounds just right to me!  What part of the world are you in?

That's miserable weather.

Ok.  I won't have a foal until this spring, but we'll see what we can do then.  Have you watched the videos on ponying?  Thats how I like to do the wilder ones.

Hi Rob, Good to hear from you. Most of the horses we deal with are young, but the principles are really the same. It's just that the older the habit, the harder it is to break. I'll see if I can find an older one with a bad habit so I can video it. I might just have one!🤠 Have a great day

Hello friends, Nat and I have been discussing ideas for future content and we are looking for suggestions. Do any of you have a specific video request? Maybe a problem you're having or just something you'd like to see on the site?
