This colt has self-carriage and steadiness to spare, but the turnaround is his weak spot — he's dull-sided, heavy-footed and behind after missing six months of his two-year-old year. Cody Crow of No Where But UP Performance Horses has the slow, correct version, and now needs speed from a horse whose natural inclination isn't speed. So he backs all the way up to one thing: move your feet, and never mind whether it's pretty. He shows why getting the feet in motion before asking beats pulling and kicking from a standstill, drags the colt through a few ugly ones without apology, and explains the part most riders skip — when the horse finally gives you real initiative, the reward is to quit, so he never gets resentful about it.
