Preview: Phil Rapp: Lessons on Herd Work

Phil explains why stepping forward is the key to making great cuts. He gives all of the participants at the NCHA Cutting Academy, held in Fort Smith, AK sponsored by Waco Bend, great advice on the little things they could change whist working their horses out of the herd. In this three part video series you will learn:

* How to clear the herd on your cut
* Why you need to use two hands sometimes to get a square stop
* If you’re having trouble on one side of the arena, it’s probably because of what you may be doing on the other side
* Waiting on your cow can help you get even with the cow
* The importance of being even on both sides of the cow
