[QUOTE="kaneranch, post: 145327, member: 1755"] Here is what I would do. When there is cattle in the chute I would open the gate and let the steer out and make sure that she stands still until the steer is five or ten feet out of the box, then walk her slowly out of the box. I would mix it up a little bit to if you can. After scoreing a few track or rope one or two. If there arn't any steers in the chute I would just make her stand there and pet her and open the gate. Your main obejectives are to make her calm in the box, brake when the steer leaves (not when the gate opens) and keep her guessing. I think that when you get into a routine is when you get into trouble. If you Just rope or just score she will think that that is what she is supposed to do every time and it make for a bad roping horse. The only thing that you really can't do enough of in my opinion is opening the gate while they are in the box and keeping them calm. Now these are all my opinions if any one thinks differently or would like to add something it won't hurt my feelings. [/QUOTE]
