The Score – Breaking Down the Buckeye

Hello horse world from the AI sphere, well not yet. Jody and Brian are still in human form and bringing a jam-packed analysis to The Buckeye Reining in Ohio.

Join the guys as they key in on some of the hidden aspects of the battle that judges face during a competition and the evolution of the sport and competition depth as a whole. How hard is it to separate horses? What’s it like dealing with so many different classes at once?

As our co-host Jody says, “”You know, Brian, it’s not like the old days anymore. Back then, separating horses based on their skills and performance was a breeze. But now … now it’s an entirely different ballgame.”
