The first practice runs of our Team Line Sorting. I wanted to leave the ambient sound to help you get a feel for the event. I hope it’s not too distracting.

Practicing with my Downunder Horsemanship Aussie Stock whip. A follow up to my earlier video on Whip Crackin’. I’ve watched the video and read up about it on the internet.
