We offer a different take on buddy sour behavior between two horses and how, with some help and a little creativity, you can firmly put the issue to rest. Then we delve into some common mistakes during the rundown and the sliding stop itself, and how to correct them.

We continue on our theme of rundowns and stops by talking about three specific problems that typically surface throughout the course of training. Regardless of what steps we take to address problems that may arise, the fact remains. Once our horse’s confidence with the rundown and stop is firmly established, we can start refining and correcting issues within these maneuvers without overwhelming him.
