Futurity & Classic Bull Training is one of our
specialties. Taking a young bull and training him so he can be ready for events
is so rewarding.
Every great bull had to start somewhere and we know that we
are getting some of the next great super stars ready for the PBR.
At the Jaynes’ Gang we take pride in focusing on the three
key time periods in a young bull’s life to ensure proper training: Pre-Event
Training (Arena Etiquette), Event Training and Follow Up Training.
During Pre-Event Training we focus on teaching the bull that
the arena and the chute are not his enemy. To teach your bull "Arena Etiquette”
we focus primarily on out gate training, proper use of discipline during
loading, chute training and bucking training. This is crucial before moving on
to the next stage, Event Training.
Before your bull can participate in events he needs to learn
a few basics so he is acclimated to the idea of traveling to and from events.
We pen and feed him as well as teach him proper trailer loading.
Once we feel he is ready we provide follow up training to
ensure his skill level is maintained. As your bull will be traveling to
competitions, we teach him to feel comfortable being away from the herd in
order to eliminate nerves and uneasiness on the day of the event. We train our
bulls to have confidence and a consistent pattern in their bucking by
conditioning them.
Many people ask what we look for when we train bulls? The
easy answer? A winner. The complex answer? Characteristics that win. The best
way to understand bull training necessities is to understand the judging
process. All bulls are judged on five categories:
·
Buck
o In
this category, the judges look at how they come up in the front end.
Essentially, how high and how many times they come up in the front end.
·
Kick
o Here
it is important that the bull is judged on how high and how far extended he is
when he kicks.
·
Intensity
o The
two categories that drive a bull’s intensity are his buck and kick. Every bull
has to be intense to do either of these maneuvers. We take an average of these
two and give credit for a strong finish or deduct for losing intensity.
o For
Example: -.5 if he gets weaker the last second, -1 if he gets weaker the last 2
seconds, +.5 if he gets stronger the last second and +1 if he gets stronger the
last 2 seconds
·
Difficulty to Ride
o Difficulty
can be tough to judge and can also be very subjective. In our standard of
judging on difficulty we start a bull with a three and add or deduct as
necessary.
o For
Example: -1 if he spins 1 round or less, +.5 if 2 rounds, +1 if 3 rounds or
more, +1 if 4.5 or higher on buck or kick, -1 if 3 or less on buck or kick, +.5
if drifts in spin are more than 10 feet and +1 if he spins at least 1 round
both ways
·
Spin
o Bulls
who make rounds one way or the other (especially both ways) score higher on
intensity and difficulty.
We understand that your bull is your pride and joy and our main goal is
to ensure that the most of your investment is made. We do this by
instilling proper and solid training from a young age.
