Cow work

We had loads of fun today me and Kick The Cat! Worked her on the cows again and she did pretty good. Started out a little bracy and overdoing stuff. She didn't really have time for the draw and thus lost some possition in the turns. She got better though and was pretty accurate on the last one. She works more like a cowhorse than a cutter right now and that's probably where we'll end up but I'll stay with it and see if we can get her to use herself more like a cutting horse. She tends to get to elevated in front when she turns, I want her to use her head and neck more and follow her nose. She does better on the cutting machine though where she has more time.

 Shook out the rope on live cattle for the first time also. She thought nothing of it and worked really good. I like to rope the cows now and then to keep them fresh and hopefully last alittle longer.

 To slow pulling the slack on this shot and she ended up jumping through the loop.

 Using the breakaway still as she isn't ready for the pull and holding one by herself just yet. Will set up the trap again so I won't have to lay them down to remove the rope.

 You can see how she elevates here, letting the momentum go up to much instead of working closer to the ground. I knew going in it would take some work and alot of patience using only the hackamore on her but she's getting it done and it sure demands alot more of me.
