Re: [RC] Hi Tie - Ferne FedeliI think you need to teach that horse not to pull back!?! LOL. Much easier said than done! My Arab went through about a 6 month period of pulling back a couple of years after I got him. I don't really know what prompted it. We went through several snaps, a couple of lead ropes and then I got him one of those bungee-type leads and that did the trick. He would pull back on it and nothing happened, so he would back up a little and pull some more with no results. He must have thought it over a bit and figured he'd lost his touch , but after using that just a few times he stopped pulling and never did it again. I've had him 12 years now... Ferne I have a question for people who use Hi Ties: what happens if you have a horse that is a puller? The kind that will lean back against a rope and just hang there with all of his weight until the snap breaks. In which case you use a heavy rope with a bull snap that he can't break, but he will just almost sit down while pulling. Can a Hi Tie survive that?????
