You’ll see real-time training adjustments for common issues like shouldering out, over-bending, and staying straight in the run. Kaden explains how he uses scoring, body control and mental check-ins to shape this young mare into a consistent, confident rope horse. If you're working on team roping horse training for green or futurity prospects, this session is packed with practical, honest takeaways you can use at home.
