UCS 26.6 Part 17: Pairs Driving With Harness Pole, where we first combined the butt rope with the pole, going backwards and forward. In the next session we prevented a wreck! Then we practiced some more to give Eve confidence that she needed.
UCS 26.7 Part 3: Urban Weekend Cutter & Roper, where we train our ranch-versatile Morgan horses to do cow work and roping with mechanical training aids and Miniature Zebu cattle.
UCS 26.5 Part 2 of cow work practice at Shadrack Farms. Morgan horse Semi reviews cow simulator work at the south cable cow machine which is operated with an exercycle.
UCS 26.2 This is part 16 in our training segments where we are training Morgan mares Eve and her daughter Sadie to drive/pull in pairs with a home-made training harness pole. We must help Sadie understand when to stop and stand.
UCS 26.3 Part 1 introduces this series patterned after RFD/TV Weedend Cutter show. At Shadrack Farms, which is in an urban setting, we train our Morgan horses and Miniature Zebu cattle to be ranch versatile "using" livestock.

UCS 25.22 Part 13 showing our techniques for training Morgan mares Eve and her daughter Sadie to drive in pairs with our home-made training harness pole.
UCS 25.19 In this Part 2 we continue to properly fit tack on Mini Zebu heifer Seela. We begin asking her to negotiate certain trail obstacles in our obstacles area at Shadrack Farms.
UCS 25.18 Part 11 showing our training of Morgan mares Eve and her daughter Sadie to drive/pull in pairs using a home-made training harness pole. We review cross-check reins and putting on the harness.
UCS 25.17 Part 1 discussion and demonstration of training of Mini Zebu heifer Seela ultimately to pull. We show the tack, discuss the goals and techniques, and demonstrate progress so far.
UCS 25.16 Part 10: Pairs driving training with harness pole, working individually with Morgan mares Eve and her daughter Sadie in the pasture at Shadrack Farms, using a home-made training harness pole.
UCS 25.15 Part 9 showing our progress in training Morgan mare Eve and her daughter Sadie to drive/pull in pairs, ultimately with a training harness pole. We are working on training Sadie with a butt rope to stop square, not pulling her hip away from Eve.
UCS 25.14 Part 8: Pairs Driving With Harness Pole training. We concentrate on desensitizing Sadie to the butt rope, so that we can eventually have confidence in pairs driving/pulling with the jockey stick, butt rope, and cross check reins. The ultimate goal is to be able to confidently pairs drive with our home-made harness pole.
