Thank you Barbra.
This will really help me. Especially not giving ground to a fast cow, keeping the pressure on your line to make it turn away. Thank you! 🙂

Helpful tips! slowing down video & pausing to elaborate, was very helpful.
The tip about a pushy cow, wanting to dive into corner; recommendation to trying to hold your ground, also valuable. Thank you

This was so interesting!!! I really have never heard of needing to “hold the line” but it makes total sense. Also, Wow, what a horse/rider team!!!! Awesome to see those amazing positions the horse was in with his body at times!!! Thank you!

This is so helpful. I get a lot out of the explanation of a video. Thank you so much!
Great Information, The horse is making two part turn arounds (Two 90* heading changes that are fluid and connected) starting with the horses cow side shoulder being elevated, but counter balanced by the riders weight being outside of center-line, thus loading the horses herd side hind leg, and promoting base wide. That VS: Cow Side Hind Foot Turn Around, which requires time and encroaches on the working line, and does NOT draw, nor break the cow down. Normally a cow can be broken down within 8 trips across the pen. With that rule of thumb, the turn back help knows… Read more »
