Standing Tied - Teach it

["Dolores Arste" <darste@emi.com>]

Why not TEACH your horse to stand tied. I teach all my babies when they are
just a few days old using a release/reward method that you can find in the
John Lyons book. Simply halter your foal/horse and loop a long rope over a
rail or around a post and YOU stand at the either end keeping SLIGHT
pressure on the rope until the horse steps up to release the pressure, you
then release all pressure and viola no fight no danger no nothing. What a
help when further training ensues and what do they do if the catch a leg in
a rope, why they try to find the release instead of fighting.
