Preview: Going Down The Fence With Chris Dawson

Chris is one of the best going down the fence! In these two videos he explains why he uses his voice when driving up to a cow in the boxing, how he dry works his horse and what he does in the boxing if the cow isn’t threatening him when training at home.

  • Part 1   Chris shows you how he wants his horses switched on as soon as the cow enters  the arena and why he uses his voice when driving up. He explains what he does if he is a little behind coming out of the corner, by cutting off his angle to catch up going down the fence and he wants his horses to initiate the stop themselves when the cow releases him.

  • Part 2    Chris explains how he softens a horse with his feet and what he does at home in the boxing if the cow isn’t threatening him. He also demonstrates what he does if his horse is rushing and feels too strong going down the fence.
