Your Dad showed that he is an experienced horseman! As his horse acted up, he kept his horse's head turned. As you know, this keeps the horse's hind quarters disengaged. Smart man working his horse properly to avoid a wreck! Folks watching this video can learn from your Dad's actions. Great video.

I’ve saddled my fair share of horses. I noticed the guy in the beginning of the video put the pad towards the hip and slid it forward to the withers and put on the saddle on. That must’ve been very uncomfortable for the horse

Its actually a great method for training. Or just to adapt to. Horses are very sensitive around their hinds, so dragging that pad up tells them that you are present and they should be aware . Also, how would it be uncomfortable??

Omg I want to live this life!!!!!

Should have took it off when she was down

I must have missed it but where's the bear encounter or y'all were just saying that when the horses were acting up

Brego is the dog right

Did you find what was making the horse act up? Glad all are well.

We never did but he was fine the next day and ever since!

Your shots need to be in the neck for cattle dude that's ridiculous. Also when that same calf got up at 6:53, your man on the horse needs to let go of his rope and you need to KEEP PULLING THE ROPE, the loop will get big enough to come off. This is basic stuff you're going to have to learn. I can tell you're new to this based on the way you walked to that calf at 6:02 you should've seen that coming. You need to go work on some big operations that have seasoned hands who can teach you some things. Also as a personal preference thing, if ya'll are catching but then losing your ropes, you either need to get a longer rope or put rubber on the horn, and either way you need to practice dallying.

What’s the name of that book you mentioned?

@lightningspringsranch

It’s called The Gold Of Carrie-Shinob by Kerry Ross Boren. It’s a super interesting book!

No matter what y'all shouldn't ever leave the kids by there selfs in bear country the bear could have been just waiting in a tree by those kids on the hill but that's just me

Why didn't you just trip her

We should have. Or heeled her. But once I dropped that rope our plans kinda changed haha.

I'd rather see some wild horses out there then some cows lol would look prettier against the landscape

You guys need some serious schoolin.
