Riley Minor on Going up the Fence

Right there, I hadn't quite switched the steer,but if I was really ducking, his back legs would be kicked out way worse.

I'm trying to duck the horse off a little bit because that steer is dead, so I'm trying to get some momentum up. I can't just hold up and slow him down a lot there, because we've got to be moving-especially with the wall there.

I'm starting to come up the wall when the steer gets real heavy and I'm trying to hustle up and I'm trying to go as far as I can up the fence and hope Brady can rope him. He's got to really rope him over the hip right there because we're going straight back.

That horse, you really have to drive him back up the wall. He can pull them, even though he's little he's got a lot of heart.

Probably right here is going to be legal because his feet are back.

I probably shouldn't take my eyes off the steer, but I knew I was near the left wall and had the steer in tow, and the pen is so small, I had to look up to see where I was going. I knew I needed to keep kicking so I could get a good finish and face good. To do that, you need to keep the momentum up and be aggressive and drive
