Howdy guys, as some of you may know, I'm going to school, and got a bunch of video homework to do! So I'm posting it to my channel. This video is for the working cow horse class, and were going over ranch roping groundwork TQA industry standards. This video is the phase 2 part of the class covering the foundation for more advanced roping, horsemanship, and stockmanship skills that we'll practice in later classes. The college here offers certifications through TQA (link below). Because TQA is a non-profit, they do take donations if people are interested in supporting the program / students. https://trainingqualityassurance.org/
