Bud Lyon swings a leg over a seven-year-old gelding his wife bought the week before, an NRHA money earner with no ranch trail experience, and introduces him to the obstacles for the first time. He works through the logs, the bridge, the gate, and the log drag, reading how the horse handles each one and where his steering and confidence still need work. The surprise: the bridge and drag came easier than expected, while the gate and trot-overs are what they'll need to spend time on.
