016 Picking Up A Foot on A Weanling Ranch Horse

Ranch Horse Resource  In this episode of the Ranch Horse Resource Podcast, Ty Van Norman talks through a simple, practical approach to picking up a young horse’s foot for the first time. Rather than forcing the issue, Ty explains how the process really starts long before the foot ever leaves the ground — through halter breaking, yielding to pressure, and building trust through the horse’s whole body. Ty shares:   How to use a soft lead rope to  introduce pressure How to use pressure and release in the process Reinforces the idea that it's  okay to stop, reset, and start over How consistency in your approach builds confidence in the horse over time A simple conversation full of practical horsemanship for ranch cowboys, cowgirls, and anyone working with young horses.
