Why not an Arab? Sacking out is getting the horse accumstomed to
scary things - touching it, hanging from it, "jumping" out in front
of it...I think it is a must for all horses - not just "plow-horses"
(which I interpreted as being of a rather phlegmatic temperament).

I think it is a great idea to use on hot horses - they are the ones
that are likely to hurt you out of fear.

Tieing up a leg is not used.

John Lyons often uses Arabs in his clinics.
