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.
Each element of goat tying is broken down and worked on separately so that
the students develop an understanding of the desired movements and the
importance of the correct technique. Instruction advances with the
student's skill level to continually challenge and improve their
performance.
Discussion periods cover equipment, how to practice and compete, physical
condition, mental preparation and reviewing of video tapes.
Clinics
are open to any age, girls or boys. Clinics are VERY physically intense
and use LIVE goats. Smaller goats may be
brought for younger students so they can learn proper technique and be
successful. |

Tip
of the Month
Getting
ready for Nationals
When
practicing in preparation for Nationals really focus on doing the basics
well.
Start
out your practices with simple one skill drills (flanking, tying, gathering,
running into position) for a warm up. Check yourself on your technique for
correctness. Then work on your goal for that practice session and end with
working on your weakness, possibly slowing them down to be correct again.
Be
careful you don't just focus just on speed while you practice with Nationals in
mind. Often this leads to making small short cuts that can cost you in the
end.
Common
short cuts include: not getting into all the way into position before the flank
Not
finishing the flank
Not
finishing the gather into your thumb
Not
getting the ty tight
Getting
wide during the dismount
If
you are familiar with the type of goats that will be at Nationals, go find you
several goats of that type to better prepare yourself. I always like to
get new goats in preparing for Nationals so that I don't know exactly what my
goats will do in the practice pen. If you are not sure what will be there, get a
variety of goats so you'll be ready.
