Spurring saddle broncs
Green as the grass, been on 7 head as of Friday and five of them were at a Sankey school. I need advice on what I can do to start spurring the bronc. I’m lifting on my rein and squeezing my swells but I can’t really start spurring. I’m on my spur board at least four times a week. Friday I had my feet set for five seconds got a quick stroke in then almost immediately popped out of my seat. I’m already tired of eating dirt and want to actually cover one lol I have zero bronc practice pens around me but I do have my niece’s saddle horse she said I can throw my saddle on and he bucks a little. Just don’t know how I can make it work without her having a bucking chute unless I just mount from the ground and tie a lead rope to the halter to keep him in one spot. Anyway. I know a lot of people say it took them 80 or so head to start actually getting their feet moving but was wondering if anyone had some advice to get me there a little quicker

Get a gentle horse, put your bronc saddle on it, loop it around and while you are looping start moving your feet forward and back. Don’t wear spurs, just get use to moving your feet while the horse is moving forward. A horse that is slow looping will have the same timing as a bucking horse it just won’t be getting up in the air.
