The Short Score: Horsemanship and More with Kory Koontz
Kory Koontz explains horsemanship, attitude and more on this episode of The Short Score.

Kory Koontz has 22 NFR qualifications to his name, and one thing he credits to his success is horsemanship. 

Roping.com recently released a full youth clinic with Koontz, with a range of videos with great tips, from dummy roping, how to rope the sled, live steers and a lot of focus on the fundamentals. On this episode of The Short Score, Roping.com brings an audio clip from his Koontz’ clinic, focusing on the importance of horsemanship.

In this clip, Koontz explains how horsemanship defines winning and losing. He spends time talking to the kids about how critical good horsemanship was to the development of his career, and he explains how his great horses defined success in his career. This leads into a full explainer on attitude and mental game, and how gratitude and hard work affect the future of your career as a team roper.
