		The little things in technique that make a big difference in time. "Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best." ~Tim Duncan
		Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics Goat Tying has become a highly competitive event at all levels of rodeo, which requires physical ability and horsemanship. Better Basics Goat Tying Clinics are designed to improve each student's skill and technique for faster, more consistent and competitive times in the rodeo arena. Students begin with instruction on fundamental skills and horsemanship. Each element of goat tying is broken down and worked on separately so that the students develop an understanding of the desired movements that are necessary to perform each task. Along with the instructional how, a why is also given, so that the students understand the importance of the technique. Instruction advances with the student's skill level to continually challenge and improve their performance. A variety of goats are at each clinic so that the students learn how to handle and win in any situation. Students are video taped throughout the clinic. Discussion periods cover equipment, how to practice and compete, physical condition, mental preparation and reviewing of video tapes. Jackpots are held to test the student's ability in a competition like setting.
		Goat Tying on the Ground Couple of rodeo goat runs Refuse to Lose I’m sorry to say, but you cannot win. Because I refuse to lose. I’ve trained too hard to be defeated. I’ve been cut and hurt and bruised. I made up my mind long ago That this was mine to take. My head and spirit are far too strong To weaken or to break. I hope you brought you’re “A” game, Your best horse and best saddle. I’m ready for the competition. I came here to battle. I’m sorry you won’t be the Champ Whenever you leave here. And I have some more bad news for you, I’ll be back again next year! Author: Anonymous Better Basics Student	The Latest News Congratulations to HILARY BAIR, 1st Reserve Runner Up at the 2010 CNFR!

		Tip of the Month Being a Square Stuffer In watching the 2010 College National Finals Rodeo Goat Tying Qualifiers ty the pen of goats prior to the start of the rodeo, my belief in being a square stuffer was reinforced! Girls that keep their left knee on the goat's shoulder and still gather in the air with their right leg had such an easier time with their ty than the girls that sit back on the goat's butt with their left knee in the dirt behind the goat's back. The stuffers that sit square were also way quicker getting their goats down to the ground from their flank. Also the goat's legs are typically a little lower, keeping their tys tighter. So if you're going to be a stuffer- SIT SQUARE!!! Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. --Unknown What would you like to know??? email Previous Tips
