I hope someone else joins in with an answer. However I think when you turn to the right then the horse is already near the left side fence, and all you need is to back up. If you walked in and turned left you would need to move the horse sideways to the fence and still back up. Also for many boxes you enter from the rear because the crew may be pulling and tying the barrier rope. The opening for that type of box is to the right and you walk in toward the left and then back up until the horse's rear is hitting the back fence.
I've seen top ropers turn to the left also. I was taught the reasoning behind turning to the left is so the horse never loses sight of the steer. Calf ropers do this also only the opposite box in which they turn toward the calf. Just wondering why other people pick one or the other.@@TeamRopingEvents
Haha. We got that short lesson because one of the students brought that horse to the class and it consistently caused problems in the box. That is the full time it took for him to show the horse what he wanted her to do. Good teacher and he never got angry or physical.
This is helpful! Thank you!
Good stuff
I hace a problem too😢
good job
Good deal I actually have a horse that does that to me so I've been working on him
Why do you choose to turn your horse to the right instead of the left when entering the box? Do you think it matters which way you turn a head horse?

Wow. Thanks I learned more reasons. Appreciate your comments.
Se fosse o meu amigo Rodrigo Rodrigues, ja tinha feito um baton no cavalo, hahahaha
No disrespect but that bit looks really loose in that horse's mouth. I assume that's one of his student's horse?
