Tailing is sort of a deviation of ground driving. Here are a
couple of articles on teaching that. I actually didn’t even teach ground
driving (bad owner), instead had someone lead while I tailed for a few times Of
course, they’d had extensive tail desensitization lessons with every
grooming, then I just started walking behind them when I moved them around the
property instead of leading them and held on to their tail while I drove them
around. I found that even with the horses that I had a hard time with, when we
were on a ride, on a trail, and the other horses were going in the direction we
were going, it was much easier and they didn’t wander around as much as
they do at home.
