A little training image for Andy and Zipper before the show class
Andy wasn't an inexperienced cowboy by any means, but this finicky stallion made him a little nervous, and Zipper could sense the young man's hesitation. He was the ranch's newest addition, a project horse that Andy had picked out to work with as a challenge to himself to see if he could get the proud stallion under his control and suited for ranch work and showing. They rode out into the ring and began to work a cow they cut out from the herd of animals, and Andy maintained decent control over the stallion until they tried to turn the cow. Zipper wanted to see what he could get away with under Andy's nervous lead, and as he ran after the cow that was now speeding away from the pair he gave a few little kicks into the air to try and dissuade Andy from continuing the ride. But, despite his initial shakiness, Andy regained his confidence; this was work he was used to, after all, and redirected Zipper back after the cow to resume their work.
