Danyelle demonstrates how she backs a horse in a circle to free up the body and move the hip out of the way, explaining how this exercise improves control and responsiveness. Jordon then cruises her 4-year-old through the barrel pattern again, adjusting her angle to the first barrel and applying what they’ve discussed. Together, they show how small refinements and an open mindset can lead to better balance, clearer communication, and more consistent runs.
Jordon Briggs switches horses to a 3-year-old full sibling to Rollo, while Danyelle Campbell gets on a 3-year-old that’s a little behind in the barrel pattern. Together, they discuss why holding some horses back until their 5-year-old year can be the right decision—and how their individual training programs differ based on the horse in front of them.
