Amen to that
The Ranch Horse Ten Commandments. Every horse in this program gets measured against these.
Be Led — easy to catch, lead, and tie. No issues.
Be Still — stands for the saddle, the bridle, and the rider.
Be Kind — good to the farrier, takes his medicine.
Be Safe — no bucking, rearing, or running off.
Be Brave — brave on the trail. Rates the rider.
Be Natural — natural headset, drives from behind, stops and turns off his hind end.
Be Useful — works gates. Tracks and rates cattle.
Be Calm — accepts a rope. Doesn't get excited.
Be Patient — ground ties. Hobbles.
Be Present — not easily distracted. Stays with you.
"I haven't found a better way to build confidence in a young horse than to let them work cattle in the open."
That's the whole program. Everything we do in the pen is preparation for this.
All ten commandments are made into an OG video series on b1horsemanship.com
Be one.
