Cody Crow: How Much Hand Is Too Much?
7m 34s
Ranch horses aren't trick ponies. You're allowed to use your hand. Cody Crow of No Where But UP Performance Horses shows where the line sits, demonstrating a back, a stop and a square turn at both a moderate amount of rein and a hand-on-your-chest amount, and explaining why judges will credit one and zero the other. From there he moves to the fix: using inside leg to hold a horse up through a turn instead of dragging him around it, and showing how a balanced corner at the top of the pen is what makes the straight line straight — and the lead change at the end of it good.
