He starts by teaching proper riding posture, rein control, and balance, ensuring each rider feels comfortable before advancing to speed drills. His training focuses on horsemanship first, helping clients build trust with their horses through groundwork and controlled riding exercises. Next, he explains the cloverleaf pattern, breaking it down into slow, precise turns around barrels. Riders practice wide, steady approaches before gradually increasing speed.
