With Mark's new alley, chutes, and a few head of roping steers, it was time to rope. Mark gave the boys some roping lessons and had them practice using the hot heels. He really knows his stuff when it comes to roping, He is an excellent roper and can coach. Sometimes he critiques a little more than the boys like, but he does help them improve. We are roping a few nights a week. Sometimes it can be hot and steamy. Mark gets motivated and has lots of enthusiasm.
Jayden spent a lot of time riding Weenie to see what kind of horse he will be. She likes to flip a horse, meaning buy it low, work with it and turn around and sell it higher. A little like a horse trader. She knew Weenie had moved a lot of cattle and been roped off a lot. He was reining bred and is super cute with a long beautiful mane and golden palomino color. I am even considering buying him as he would make a nice horse for myself and maybe the boys??
When Weenie gave Jayden a run for her money and nearly bucked her off, I thought twice about that. She told me the previous owner told her when he isn't ridden regularly he can be humpy. She took humpy to mean didn't want to move out, she got an education.
