Sorry, I don't buy in to the statement "some horses
can't be tied". Some just take more work to train them to do so. Having a horse
that will tie, stay tied, and not fuss, paw, or panic is something I expect ALL
my horses to do, even if they will never go to a ride and be tied over night.
You never know when an emergency situation could arise, and you find you HAVE to
tie your horse for a very extended time. Be it traveling and you have a
break down or accident where you need to tie the horses as there are no corrals
or other containment, some areas of the country have evacuation situations that
come up where the horses may end up being lead out of an unsafe area and tied
while waiting for a trailer ride. Or, you are riding and get hurt, can't get
back on, and the horse needs tied on the trail waiting for help to arrive.
It is training....... some choose not to take the
time to work with some horses who are more difficult. It can be time
consuming, but I feel worth it. Horses who paw, fight the tie, and have trouble
with being tied for extended times have trust and respect issues.
So, it is not that some "can't be tied", but more,
some "have not been trained to tie".......
