Gerald demonstrates how he cleans a horse’s front end up that is limited in the turn around. He wants to see the inside front foot take a step back and across so the feet aren’t too forward in the turn, once he has isolated the hindquarters. He also talks about how he likes his 2 year olds to have their nose tipped towards the cow when traveling with the cow. In part III, Gerald works a filly that is scared of cattle and does a lot of counter bending around the cows to help her relax, showing her that she can push the cows around and move their feet.

How I got started: I was shoeing horses for Wayne Jordan from Nebraska and he came down to pick up some horses and he pretty well threw me in the truck and took me back to Nebraska and I stayed up there for two years starting reiners and ropers.
