 Ralphie and her Handlers practice two times a week . In Folsom Field , Ralphie runs in a traditional right hand turn “ horseshoe ” run . Handlers primarily practice this run , working on the depth and width of the run , as well as the turn and , of course , speed . They also practice running with Ralphie in a straight line , as used for her trips to Mile High Stadium for the Rocky Mountain Showdown , and in an “ L ” shape for her annual soccer game run . Ralphie and her Handlers also practice a non @-@ traditional left hand “ horseshoe ” run , which is used when they run at the National Western Stock Show .
