Kayla had saved plenty of drill videos. What helped her choose a Tuesday session was being able to look up a fault and find three corresponding cards.

This rider hauls to an open arena twice a week because of footing at home. The small-arena option on each card was the reason to buy.

↓ Inside the playbook

Use the Fault to Choose What to School.

These three volumes are for riders who review a run themselves, spot a fault and need to decide what to school on Tuesday.

Turnline Rodeo · Volume I cover mockup — print and tablet
First volume

First barrel, rate and pocket

Work on the first turn and what leads up to it. Work on wide firsts, running past the pocket, rating a stride early or missing the rate entirely, including the horse that turns neatly at a trot but overshoots at speed.

  1. Pocket work Establish the shape of the turn before adding speed
  2. Working on rate Progress one gait at a time so the horse responds when you ask to slow down or move on reliably.
  3. Approach practice Work on a wide first barrel where the issue begins, in the alley
  4. Signs to progress Each card describes how to tell when your horse is ready for the next gait

Second volume

Second and third barrels, shoulders and exits

This volume works on dropped shoulders, tipped barrels, losing the shoulder leaving the second and a horse that won’t drive hard out of the turn on the way to the finish.

  1. Keeping the shoulder up Use body-position drills to work on the drop before it happens
  2. Keeping barrels upright In 3D and 4D racing, a tipped barrel is a no-time run, rather than a penalty. The second volume has 25 cards.
  3. Exiting the turn For a horse that doesn't push away promptly on cue
Turnline Rodeo · Interior spread — alley and run-out drill with the objective line visible at the top
Third volume

Alley, speed control and confidence

  1. Alley and run-outs For a horse that has trouble standing or leaves before you ask
  2. Working with a hot horse Bridge months of slow practice and the full run where the horse bolts leaving the third barrel
  3. Rebuilding confidence Return in stages after a slip or bad hit, for the horse and the person riding

  1. 84 days mapped out Weeks 1–4 for legging up, 5–8 for strength and 9–12 to sharpen speed
  2. Each day names the drill card numbers to use from the three volumes
  3. The plan schedules rest days and sets a firm weekly limit on full-pattern runsin advance
  4. Use the schedule from a winter layoff to spring jackpots, or reset it mid-season.

✦ About Turnline Rodeo

A reference for riders who need the work in order.

We make printable reference material. Riders told us they wanted an objective at the top of every card, a diagram they can read in seconds at the rail, and a walk, trot and lope sequence that builds toward speed.

The work starts with familiar fundamentals, including bending, pocket work, rate and slow practice. Review the basics when you see a training problem. The playbook puts the drills in an order you can use. Choose a drill for the fault you can see and place it in the right training week. That sequence is what the playbook gives you.

The cards use three barrels, cones and a few poles. Print and laminate them for the fence rail. They require no gadgets, special bit or supplement purchase.

Andrew kept the calendar pinned in his tack room for six weeks and noticed his horse was quieter in the alley. He credited limiting full-pattern runs after previously repeating the pattern too often.

Kayla would have liked even more drills in Volume III and found 25 plenty to work through. She hadn’t seen the same staged return after a bad hit in the free or paid resources she knew.

Kayla R. · US

★★★★★

Travis’s main issue that spring was a hot horse leaving the third barrel. He’d been skipping the transition from slow practice to a full run. Volume III gave him four things to school before adding speed, including two he hadn’t considered.

Brittany hauls to an open arena twice a week due to poor footing at home. The fact that every card addressed that setup convinced her to buy.

Brittany H. · US

Lindsay doubted she could do real barrel work in her 60-foot round pen. She found a round-pen option on every card, used the full Volume I sequence there and saw her mare’s rate return faster after the winter layoff than the year before.

Before you order the playbook

For other questions, write to support@turnlinerodeo.shop. We respond within 24 hours.

Can a beginner use the cards?

Yes. Start each drill at a walk. The card explains setup, objective and typical errors. The youth and parent version explains pocket, rate and shouldering. Experienced riders can use the same material as an index.

How do I choose a drill for my horse?

Find the fault you see, then follow the suggested drills in order. The cards give each session a goal. A trainer watching from the ground can give individual feedback the cards can't provide.

Is there a course or recurring video plan?

It's a one-time printable download. You receive three drill volumes, a 12-week planner, a fault map and a spreadsheet. Use the files without logging in, paying monthly or watching a 40-minute video before you ride.

When will the files arrive?

Your download link arrives by email about a minute after checkout and remains available if you need to download again.

Is everything printable?

Yes. Cards are available full-page or two half-page cards per sheet for laminating and clipping. The calendar is sized for the tack-room wall and the map can be printed as a poster.

What does this add to free video drills?

The fault index points you toward two or three relevant drills and shows the progression. The 12-week schedule tells you when to ride them and limits full-pattern work.

How does it compare with a clinic or video app?

A video library can cost $29.99 each month and still leave you searching. Clinics run on fixed dates and can mean traveling hours. This is $42 once, with drills organized by fault, ready to clip to your fence on a solo Tuesday ride.

Can I use it without an arena?

Yes. Each card includes a small-arena or no-arena alternative for a round pen, a field set up with cones or an open-arena session you haul to.

Need anything else?

Send a note to support@turnlinerodeo.shop . We’ll answer within 24 hours. If the playbook doesn’t meet your needs, reply to your order email with “refund” within 90 days for your money back. No reason or form is required.
