Re: RC: Standing Tied - Teach it

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

Well, as one would say "not exactly". You would not want to tie a foal to an
inner tube because it is not as forgiving as your hand. And a foal could get
seriously hurt very quickly using this method.

With your hand you can follow the foal as far as he needs to go to get
comfortable enough to step up. Remember you are the teacher not the device.
So what if he needs to back you 20 feet before he figure it out to step up.
