Re: [RC] bad horse at vet-in - Truman PrevattA chain over the nose works well. You don't have to use it unless you need it and it is one of those things that they do to them selves and the effect of the chain stops when they stop. My old mare was a handfull at vet ins. Once I started using the chain at vet ins she was fine. After awhile I just put it on and snapped lead rope through the loop on the end of the chain an and the loop on the halter so the chain was there but didn't do anything except sit there. But she knew it was there and she know it meant to behave.I would much rather use a chain over the nose than a crop. However, before you bring it out at a ride make sure you have put it on her and led her around with it at home so she doesn't have something else to worry about at the ride camp.
