Subject: [RC] teaching to tie with belly
rope...NOT
I know that for as long as horses have been
taught to tie, and not set back, folks have been using the rope around the
horses girth/body, and up through the halter ring, and tied off. If anyone
ever wants to see the scars/ areas of no hair that start up near my
horses withers, and trickle all the way down to under his girth area, I can
show them to you. His breeder sent him out for some "lessons", and things
obviously did not go well. When I got this horse, he was scared of his own
lead rope. This is not a method I'd recommend to anyone, after seeing what
happened with my gelding before I bought him. But, it is a method that has
been used for as long as I can remember.
