While the issue of difficult to tie horses is still going, I have a 
question.
Has anyone tried the "Tie Blocker" type  method on the horses that insist on 
pulling?  Did the horse pull tilll they got clear free? How long is the 
halter rope you use?
Did the horse get better about standing tied reliably no matter what the 
situation was?

I've known a number of horses that would pull often if they broke free, but 
would  stand up and quit pulling if nothing broke.   I don't remember ever 
having a horse that was completely reliable to tie once they learned they 
could break stuff.   If they didn't break loose a couple of times they would 
be good for a while, but you always had to be careful what you tied with and 
to.

We have one now that is not afraid of anything, very bold,  just wants her 
own way.   Curious if the "slide" effect might be useful.  My experience 
says no, but never too late to find a new way to do something.

Any comments?
