Lessons From Legends

7m 33s
Jake and Clay get back to work, making practice runs and talking through what is coming up in each one. They share the story of a match roping where each partner had to head five and heel five and they came out on top. On a typical day they are putting in 25 to 35 runs, getting the reps in and working through whatever comes up, including Jake missing his slack and managing a horse that is starting to get strong. Jake also talks through his Riata horse, a nice but still green prospect he is bringing along. The conversation stays loose and honest, including some good natured ribbing about Clay not dragging steers far enough into Jake's loops.
