My beef is with people that just think they automatically need them. You are much more reasonable than thatcdncowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055181472294995601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-5287341797891091692011-07-12T19:09:16.331-06:002011-07-12T19:09:16.331-06:00I've noticed those polo wraps a lot too, and I...I've noticed those polo wraps a lot too, and I bought some, but haven't used them yet. <br />Good point on the tie down. That's why so many ropers use them, their horse works off them making that left turn. Otherwise you've got that head up in your face. I can see how it applies to barrel racing too. <br />Moon is a great horse and it's fun to "watch" you and him getting things together. Barrel racing is dang hard! It only looks easy!Mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574914465998507310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-47067038786902978762011-07-12T13:10:23.323-06:002011-07-12T13:10:23.323-06:00Several good and substantial points there BEC'...Several good and substantial points there BEC's.<br /><br />1) The horses will always revert back to what they know and what comes naturally for them. If it is using their front end and the back dragging out behind them- that's what they do. <br /><br />2) They will look for support- be it your hand, a tie down, martingale or something else. If they start to lean or pull more and more on your hand- take that away by letting go. They have to find something else or learn how to balance themselves.<br /><br />3)Glad you looked for someone who knows how to wrap legs for the polo's. They can offer support or cause problems depending on how they are applied.<br /><br />4) Even though the video was fuzzy- frame by frame means all was not lost. Glad you found a way to use it to see what was going on.Cut-N-Jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355349642284506192noreply@blogger.com
