Re: [RC] re: the best method to reform a dedicated puller - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...You want a variation you could try mine. I never tie the horse so he never has a reason to pull back. I will not take them out on the trail until I can saddle with out restraint, walk all around with out tying and they follow if I ask them to. ..." I agree wholeheartedly. However, some horses are purchased with baggage including poor initial training, and have learned about pulling back. The question is" "what do you do to cure this habit? Especially when tied at night at a trailer. Myself, I never saddle any horse that is tied to anything. I never use cross ties. I rarely even groom a horse that is solidly tied.
