Walt and Travis,
Do you find that the big hill of dirt in the corner of your heel box makes it easier for the horses to start? You know, like coasting down hill?
Thanks,
George
George,
Not really, Although your heads in the right place. We like to make our Young horses break slow and then gradually pick up speed from there. No matter how hard the steer runs. We try and rope steers that are real slow so that they never build up any anxiety in the box. We believe that making young horses run hard before there ready causes box problems. As far as a finished horse goes, If you’ve went slow enough when he was young, you should be able to start him on a hill or in a hole and he’ll break and run like Secretariat! Hope this helps you out. -TW
