In this horsemanship-focused session, Miles Baker answers an important question in rope horse training: How do you want your horse to carry themselves?
Baker explains the difference between a horse being behind the bridle versus hiding from it, and why true self-carriage comes from engagement—not avoidance. He breaks down the feel he’s looking for and emphasizes the importance of having the reins connect to the horse’s feet, ensuring that every cue influences body position and movement.
Ty Benson adds insight on how conformation plays a role in how each horse travels, reminding viewers that not every horse will move the same way. Understanding a horse’s build and natural tendencies allows a trainer to develop proper balance without forcing an unnatural frame.
