All great tips. The proof that they work is in fact why there isn’t a horse in this video acting up. I’m sure at one point even blue needed all these things. I’m working with a paint mare right now that I had to get on, off, send her around and back on like a jack in the box for over an hour. (She’s a hard headed 12 yr old mare with bad habits). It can be a war of attrition and where we as human usually fail is we get outlasted. We are too busy or have somewhere else to be other than present and consistent. Thank you for the content.
As always, a very good video. Good common sense tips that work! ‘Ol’ Blue 22 is the living proof. My two cents to add, for an older combination, IOW an older rider on an older horse, I sure recommend a mounting block. It’s obvious for the rider, but it sure helps older horses avoid back soreness issues, especially if they are pre-existing. For final adjustments, remember to move the block to the horse, not the horse to the block. BH, ya do a great job with all of these tips and good ideas! Looking forward to the next one and thanks again for Barrett10 at NRS!

Thank You Barrett for the horse tips. How do i get on a horse with spurs? I'm afraid I will touch him with a spur on when I don't mean to do it.
You just need to be cautious of how you get on. But don’t overthink it either unless your horse is super spooky.
Got any ideas on how to get a new roping horse “cowy “ . Not all of us can lead steer
Give them a job. Some horses won’t be “cowy” naturally, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t work a cow.
Great video
Thank you
