I’m right on the British Columbia and Montana boarder. A little village called grasmere. I find sheds every ride pretty well. It’s magnificent country

Rope their feet also lead them by the feet. Hold them as a Ferrier would. If you can’t then work on getting them so you can hold them as such. Get an old rasp and get them used to it. Bring in stands so they see them and get used to them. 

Try all of it over and over and over. Be kind and give them time to process. Start small. 

B1 has some good vids.

What a great series mr boatwright. Thank you 

Day 8 she was havin a bad or off day. I am happy that you looked for a spot to quit her. I read the loop and it was something along the lines of turning into a battle. I have made the mistake of trying to force somethings and kinda felt like I wasn’t doing the horse a good thing by quittin them that particular day. It was good to see you look for a spot cause I was on the fence somedays about doing it.

Super helpful series. I definitely been skipping a couple of the little things. I love 310 ranch ropes. I have a 60. Just great products

I too encounter this especially first few times with spurs but often without. Long trots have worked well for me. Also when I’m asking for that hip to come around I kinda bump the bit cause I know the nose is comin for my toes. Bumping the bit in an upward motion kinda hard helps it. Typical issue I find in starting horses. Just my thought though and someone else might have a better solution 

Great video gentleman, thank you 

I honestly would love to come spend a summer or a year working horses and learning cattle with you. You’ve helped my horsemanship so much. Thank you
