When Tate Kirchenschlager runs into scoring problems on head horses or any issues in the box, he doesn’t make it a fight. Here’s the ARHFA World Champ’s simple step-by-step guide to problem-solving box issues.
Step 1:
If he just pulls through my hand, I’ll walk him up and back him off my hand a little bit and back him back into the corner.
Step 2:

Step 3:
If he still moves around on the second steer, I’ll hold him in the bridle with my feet into him until he breaks at the pole and submits to the pressure.
Step 4:
Then I’ll let him walk forward, and back up again to reset.
Step 5:
Then we’ll go ahead and run the next one.
