6 years ago, a woman I boarded with a woman who bought a TB that had many behavioral problems, including pulling back when tied. After many failed sessions with various local trainers, she sent the horse to a QH training facility east of Atlanta. This place had a couple of mules that were used to "train" horses. The TB was tied to one of these special mules, and after a few days the mule would be dragging the horse around at will...sometimes the horse would be dragged lying flat out on the ground. After a couple of weeks being tied to the mule, the TB became very docile(obviously!!). The owner of the horse was OK with this method and took the horse back for "Tune-up" sessions every 6 months or so. By the way, I did not approve of this method. There are a lot of ways to break a horse's spirit and teach it to
never think for itself .... this makes me ill both in my stomach
and in my heart.
