Fixing the Fence: As soon as you get control, you'll need to get this fence section done fast – you've only got 1 minute and 30 seconds. Don't sweat it, though; there's plenty of time if you keep moving. Head over to the fence posts. You'll see some wood pieces that need to be secured. Just mash the [X]/[A] button repeatedly to hammer the posts down firmly. Then, use your [Left Stick] to line up the wooden planks with the holes in the fence. Once it's positioned, press [X]/[A] again to place it. Keep doing this for all the pieces. It feels repetitive, but it's quick work.

Dealing with the Bull: After the fence is done, you'll hear some commotion. Head over to find out what's up – turns out a bull has gone a bit wild. You'll need to calm it down. First, equip your Lasso. Try to throw it on the bull, but don't be surprised if it breaks free on the first try. Now, here's the important part for that Gold Medal: the bull is going to get ready to charge you. Warning: Do NOT try to lasso it again right now. Just dash out of the way! You need to avoid getting hit. Once it runs off a bit, you can go back to trying to lasso it. Keep an eye on it, though, because it'll try to charge again. When you finally catch it a second time, you'll get a prompt to calm it down. Just follow the on-screen instructions carefully, and you'll bring the beast under control, finishing the mission.
- For the fence, just keep hammering that [X]/[A] button and positioning the wood. Don't overthink it; speed is key here.
- When the bull charges, your instinct might be to lasso it again, but that's a trap! Sprinting sideways is the way to go to avoid damage and get that Gold Medal.
