Dear Keith...
Monday, June 5, 2006
My 12 year son is working with an 8 year old mare in 4-H. She is an excellent barrel and pole horse, they were Reserve High Point winners in the KY 4-H State Show last year.
He needs help in teaching her to pivot for showmanship.
Any helpful hints that you can provide your sites/videos you can recommend.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yvonne |
