Tate Kirchenschlager
Practice Session: Transitioning 4-Year-Old by Hashtags from Cow Horse to Heading
14m
Tate Kirchenschlager got this 4-year-old Hashtags gelding from World’s Greatest Horseman Champ Kelby Phillips. In this full practice session, Kirchenschlager explains how he ropes on the gelding a few months into his heading training to help him relax and learn the pattern in a team roping run. Kirchenschlager asks the horse for 60% of his ability to keep him focused and calm throughout the run.
