[RC] Horse that pulls back - k s swigartDawn said: She had obviously been "taught," by use of those halters ?that break when a horse sets back, that she could break ?loose.? Once she found out she couldn't, she gave up.? :) This only works on horses that give up.? Me?? I have worked with horses that will die before they will give up.? In fact, one of the ones I have?I got because some other trainer tried to get her to give up and she hung herself from the tie rail rather than quit...at which time he pronounced her "too stupid to learn" (since she trampled him into the ground rather than let him tie her up again) so he offered to take her to the auction for her owners. For me, she stands tied just fine.? In fact, I use her for a a ride & tie horse.? I didn't teach her this by?letting her struggle and hoping she would quit.? I already knew that she has no quit in her. She is not the only horse that I have worked with that is like this; I LIKE horses that don't know the meaning of the word quit.? They can be a little more challenging to train, because they will die before they comply, and after you have trained them, you have to be careful not to ask too much of them...because they will die before they refuse to comply. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
