Hi Mike, That is a good question. Horses will generally travel forward easier if they are moving around behind the person on the ground. Keeping the flag low and across my body allows the horse the freedom to come around behind me. Most horses, if given the option, would prefer to approach a human from behind or from the side at an oblique angle so I find that posture relaxes MOST horses. Keep in mind, I don't disengage their hindquarters. I prefer to teach them to stop straight and having the flag across my body gives me the added option of unfolding my arms to use the flag as an aid in stopping the horse. It takes some practice, but I find this technique to be helpful. Take care, Richard

Well, we couldn't decide between Lisa and Devin so you guys both get a hat! I'll be emailing a coupon code out to you guys today so you can go the the merchandise page and pick one out. Good to hear from all of you!

That's rough. I hope y'all got through it ok.

I saw that too. It never ceases to amaze me what the animals can tolerate or even thrive in. Mud would suit me fine, too. Frozen ground is tough to work with!

That's rough!

That's cold!

Samantha Jones I see. I hope you have a wonderful summer and a Merry Christmas!

Is that Fahrenheit or Celsius? 😁

That's quite a warm up!

That's us too. 7 this morning!
