[RC] teaching to tie with belly rope...NOT - Tx Trigger
I know that for as long as horses have been taught
to tie, and not set back, folks have been using the rope around the horses
girth/body, and up through the halter ring, and tied off. If anyone ever wants
to see the scars/ areas of no hair that start up near my horses withers,
and trickle all the way down to under his girth area, I can show them to you.
His breeder sent him out for some "lessons", and things obviously did not go
well. When I got this horse, he was scared of his own lead rope. This is not a
method I'd recommend to anyone, after seeing what happened with my gelding
before I bought him. But, it is a method that has been used for as long as I can
remember.
