Over feeding slows your horse down by shortening the distance between your hands and causing you to over-engage the bridle reins. A big loop can prevent that. Two-time World Champion header Clay Smith demonstrates in this video from the Win-A-Day clinic, brought to you by ADM Animal Nutrition.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WIN-A-DAY CLINIC:

World Champion header and ADM Ambassador Clay Smith traveled to Ericson, Nebraska’s Pitzer Ranch in October this past fall, to run a Win-A-Day Clinic, sponsored by ADM Animal Nutrition and The Team Roping Journal. The winner, 22-year-old Danielle Wray, invited a handful of friends to join. Pitzer’s Jim Brinkman provided not only a dry indoor for a successful event but numerous mounts for Smith, as well.
