Team Building Round-ups
Yahoooo!
I've wanted to do this kind of riding for a while. Does it look like my horse is enjoying himself as well? Yahoo!
Later, after a few failed attempts at trying to make cows do what we wanted, I learned that you don't "chase" cattle.
Still, it's fun being quite on a horse. When you try a round-up, you'll know what I mean.
Location: The Kenner Ranch
When: By appointment only.
Time: 4 Hours.
Price: $200/Person
Other: Round-up meal included. Yummm.
Yea, they've been beaten ... but I think with a flicker of hope to out maneuver us next time!
I know what your thinking, cows are not very bright.
What seems to be true is they use every bit of what they have. If only my kids ... uh, never mind.
Does it seem to you that they sizing me up here?
Nah! They're just cows.
Anyway, we were ready and motivated. Our whole team had some great coaching on how cows "think" from Dan and Kathleen.
It's serious now. These cows need to understand that we will do it. We intended to "thread the needle."
The problem is ... no one told the cows.
Guys. It can't be this complicated. We need to regroup.
Wrangler Kathleen wonders that we might not be "thinking" like cows yet.
OK. OK. Slowwwly move the cows up. Dawn, be "quite" without looking like your noticing them.
BJ. Use your lowest gear!
We finally did it. Do you think the cows realize that they lost? Maybe, they just wondered what all our hooting was about.
Crazy humans.
Anyway. I know my horse cared. We worked well together.
Good job boy.
