I have always taught my young horses to stand tied using the "pulley system" during their grooming sessions. Never had one develope a pull back issue.

[@EicherRanch]

That’s great!

I had a mare that I couldn't hard tie the entire time I had her. I tried everything I knew. She would stand still and quiet as long as she could feel some give, so I got really good at tying her with some slip in her rope. Thanks!

Great job👍👍

[@JanaRussellNails]

@@EicherRanch thank you so much! I wish I had your videos and help way back then. No idea what this mare suffered before I adopted her, but she already had arthritis in both front knees at 7 years old. She was really great with kids but adults better watch out. Lol

If anyone watching this is pretty green you may want to pay attention to the way he's gathering his rope. He's gathering it in a way that if his horse got away with him that any part of his body would not get tangled up in it which could possibly yank you into the fence. He's gathering his loops in his hand and not making coils in his hand like a lariat rope.

Great observation 👍

My horse just recently started yanking back on the crossties after a bad farrier experience, even though the farrier herself is very kind..

[@EicherRanch]

It just takes one bad experience, hopefully this helps to work through that 👍

I’ve got one. Sometimes he will be fine. I recently started using a tie blocker ring. He just walks out far enough to get tangled or totally escapes. Love the horse hate this 1 thing about him. Considered hobble training ? I don’t know.

[@EicherRanch]

Once they’re not anxious or claustrophobic anymore, I’ll start hard tying and/or hobble train, they have to keep advancing in their training for sure 👍
