[QUOTE="J, post: 144769, member: 2167"] Thats absolutely right. The box needs to be a place the horse understands and peace time. Once they leave and are tracking an animal it's war time. Friend had a horse that would NOT stand in the box. Loped circles on him, ran up and down the pen and just worked his but off, lead him in the box loosened the saddle and that was it for the day. Next day tried to back in and the horse lost it, he did a few over & unders with the reins, loped circles again etc. After a few days the horse learned that being in the box was the only place he was safe from work and backed in with ease. I could see though how this method might backfire on you, as well as many other training methods. If you plan to be a weekend worrior type roper then training yourself might be a good idea but if you are looking to go Pro then having a good working horse would be orth paying for. [/QUOTE]
