Ok, I
just broke a 9 yr old and a 10 yr old that had never learned to tie with this
method......
If you
have a bungie lead, do use it. Bungie to the tie post, other end THROUGH
the halter ring or loop. Leave about a foot of slack. Attach another
10' lead to the end of the first lead. Take this lead between the front
legs, over the back and back thru the front legs on the other side. Tie
the end to the first lead. Their head is never restrained with this
method. It can always move forward and back and side to side. This
takes most of the danger of damaging vertebrae away. Now, when the horse
sets back, the pressure is on his shoulders. When they set back, its the
equivalent of heels in his sides asking him to move forward. The
real idiot of the two above set back 3 times and decided whoever was pushing him
from behind wouldn't give up and there just wasn't any point to trying
more. Now he gives the moment he hits the end of the
line.
Now
all he needs is several weeks of days tied to the trailer so he will stand
STILL. I like Tammy's idea and will start doing that with him whenever I
have another horse out.
