A better horse could have provided the proper attitude adjustment.
Hubby was riding my old horse Abner one day way back, when he came across a situation just like that. We had a calf about that size who had taken part in a great escape, and he was the last one to be found. It was three miles home, and about half way there the calf figured that was as far as he wanted to go. He would lay down, then when the horse caught up to him, he would attack. He would charge right into the horse's chest as hard as he could. Old Abner just leaned right back on him and pushed him down the road. Then the calf would trot ahead about a hundred feet, and lay down again. When the horse walked up to him, he'd get up and attack again. This went on and on for a mile and a half. The chase ended up with the calf, the horse, and Hubby all going down the railroad tracks to the pasture gate... over the railway trestle bridge!
Now that's a champion of a horse.

| I doubt there was anything wrong with that horse, I suspect the problem was the 'rules of engagement' for a working cow horse competition. I would bet that if he made contact with the calf he would be called for roughing the stock or some similar charge. And of course if he gave the calf the education it sorely needed he would no doubt be disqualified.

That is what is wrong with society in general, and in the show world particularly! NO COMMON SENSE!!! All that calf needed was a bit of an attitude adjustment, whether from a rope, a grill guard, or the chest of a horse.
