During this practice session, Jake Barnes rides a 12-year-old horse named "Skinner," while Clay O'Brien works with a 5-year-old mare. They focus on key aspects of roping, including timing, positioning, and maintaining a smooth turn flow when handling cattle. Jake stresses the importance of mastering fundamentals before increasing speed, as rushing often leads to bad habits. One common mistake he highlights is looking down at the saddle horn while dallying. Instead, keeping your eyes on the steer's head and leading them around the corner improves both cattle handling and overall horsemanship.
