Re: [RC] re: hobbling to saddle - Jim HollandTruman... That's what I meant about "how" you train. What "training procedure" works for one person may not be desirable for another. You train for the results you want. For example, I want my horses to "ground tie"....when the lead line is on the ground, they are effectively "tied". Instead of letting my guys walk around dragging the lead lines, I hobble...or here at the farm, just nothing...and I don't go get them....call them to come to me! <grin> Jim, Sun of Dimanche, and Mahada Magic Truman Prevatt wrote: We always give our guys free roam of the yard while we are getting ready to load up. They walk around and graze - usually dragging their lead ropes - until we are ready. They are taught that when they step on a lead rope to stop and step back - instead of panicing. They know to stand when we approach them to get them. While any horse can panic, I doubt that ours will excpet in extorinary circumstances. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
