10m
Ryan Motes and Brock Hanson ride and evaluate two greener horses—one a 4-year-old Metallic Cat gelding and the other a new mare just dropped off—for a soft, controlled roping session at home. They focus on keeping things simple, scoring when needed, picking the right steers, and allowing the horses to think through the run.
This video covers:
• How to build confidence in younger, greener horses
• Why picking the right cattle mix matters for progression
• Using rhythm, room, and feel to help horses process
• How to balance pressure and patience with colts
• Why scoring and finishing on a good note helps the long game
Whether you’re working with futurity prospects or just getting a new one lined out, this is a look into how top pros adjust their practice to fit the horse—not just the run.
