I recently attended a week long day camp at Texas Charm School and Cowboy College. The owner and instructor is Cody Johannson. She taught me how to round pen. Ms. Cody also taught me to desensitize a horse. This is really important so that the horse will not get spooked easily. I ride in rodeo performances and parades and never know what someone is going to do, what loud noise is going to sound, or what another horse is going to do. I spend a lot of time making sure that my horses are desensitized.
Below is a video of me working with a pony named Boudreaux on the final day of the horsemanship camp. I am demonstrating round penning, desensitizing, and yielding the hindquarters. I hope you enjoy the video as I seek to share my love of horses with you.
Congratulations, Jake, on your site! It looks great and I really enjoyed your video. Keep up the good work! I cannot wait to see your other articles.
