Drills or Rules
Good training doesn’t just happen during a run or a drill, it starts the moment you step into the saddle and continues all the way until your horse is untacked. In this episode of Riding Against the Odds, I’m breaking down the small, often overlooked moments that shape your horse’s mindset and responsiveness.We’ll talk about what you should do immediately when you get on, how to teach your horse to stop using your seat instead of just your hands, and why the way you unsaddle matters more than most people realize. These habits build patience, safety, and communication, and over time, they create a calmer, more confident horse.If you want a horse that waits, listens, and trusts you, this episode is for you.Links & Resources:Follow me on Instagram and TikTok at Rfr_rodeo for behind-the-scenes contentalso visit our sponsors Tacktical and Ranch Dress’n using code Rfr_rodeo and Rocket Donkey using code RachelF10If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your rodeo friends!
