 Am I really the Weirdo?

Location: Kansas | A month or so ago, I posted a few videos of my big red horse, Streak, and asked for advice on our first barrel. A week or so after that, I realized that every time I touched his face, he shook his head. Considering that he is 16 hands barefoot and massive in every way, I got to wondering if the bit was pinching the sides of his mouth, so I threw a Jim Warner hack on him at a jackpot May 1st and cruised him through. He completely relaxed and did great so I've kept running him in it and we've consistently been in the top half of the 3D - less than 1.5 seconds off! I know changing bits isn't typically a quick fix, but I think the hack has just eliminated enough pinches to let Streak relax and work.
Here are a few of his recent videos, including his pole bending run - 2nd time running them EVER and only about the 4th time he even saw the pattern - from Monday. |
I think we found our headgear! w/new videos of Streak
