The little things in technique that make a big difference in time.

Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics

Goat Tying has become a highly competitive event at all levels of rodeo, which requires physical ability and horsemanship.  Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics are designed to improve each student's skill and technique for faster, more consistent and competitive times in the rodeo arena.  

Students begin with instruction on fundamental skills and horsemanship.  Each element of goat tying is broken down and worked on separately so that the students develop an understanding of the desired movements that are necessary to perform each task. Along with the instructional how, a why is also given, so that the students understand the importance of the technique. Instruction advances with the student's skill level to continually challenge and improve their performance. A variety of goats are at each clinic so that the students learn how to handle and win in any situation. Students are video taped throughout the clinic.  Discussion periods cover equipment, how to practice and compete, physical condition, mental preparation and reviewing of video tapes.  Jackpots are held to test the student's ability in a competition like setting.

Tip of the Month

Swing to your target

When breakaway roping, make sure your swing comes FORWARD to your target (the calf) in every swing. This will help your rope travel to your calf when you deliver.  I want my swing to be in line with my right shoulder, my horse's right shoulder and my calf's right shoulder as my horse's position should be straight behind the calf.  I point at  my calf in the front of every swing to help the tip be directed down to the calf's shoulders.  Plus bringing your swing forward will help you clear your horse's head, so you're not hitting him with your rope.

 

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
