On a difficult calf darting this way and that? Good breakaway horsemanship can make all the difference between a fast run and a disappointing one. In this Relentless Insights video brought to you by Cactus Ropes, World Champion Lari Dee Guy explains the riding technique she uses to square up with a dodgy calf.
“One of the main things I see when a calf moves right or left is the lack of horsemanship knowledge. If you’re wanting a horse to move to the right, you got to be able to open up a door, so step out with your right leg to open up the door then close the door on the left.”
