In this session, Ty Benson rides a talented 3-year-old by Tres Seis and explains the key differences between developing a cow horse-bred prospect and a run-bred rope horse.
Because this colt comes from running bloodlines, Benson discusses the importance of adding more rate, body control, and mental focus early in the training process. Fast-minded horses often require a different approach—one that emphasizes slowing down, gaining softness, and building balance before allowing them to move freely.
Ty demonstrates how he warms this type of horse up, especially in a new place, making sure the colt stays mentally connected and responsive. He works through exercises designed to improve rate, engage the body, and maintain control without taking away the horse’s natural speed.
