[QUOTE="V_Key, post: 200527, member: 1300"] It was late last night and this is a long thread and I didn't read the whole thing. My Dad is Old School To make a horse stand STILL and teach it Pacification he Hobbles it. Step #1 Halter Break Step #2 Teach it to Hobble Why :???: Almost everything you want to do with a horse centers around "The Horse Standing Still. One reason Story: I went to feed one morrning - one mare was standing out in the field and did not come in - I thought that funny but... That Night she was standing in the same place so I walked out to LOOK - some where some how she had a Bailing Wire tangled up around both front feet and was just standing there. [b](Hobbled)[/b] ---- When we pack-in we hobble horses at night and let them grase around camp Caution: [b]Always use some kind of a Quick Release[/b] Step #1 Start High tieing the horse in a Boxstall - They are use of the small space - Check the horse up so it head can only move 2' or 3' off of Center of the Stall We have a Big Oak Tree (4' in dia) We have rings on 4 sides - one @ 4' high for old horses and one above that @ 7' were foals learn to tie [b]Side Note: One 6" ring has grown onto the tree and you can just get a rope through it.[/b] This Ol Oak has ropes hanging from limbs in several places. At some of these hanging ropes dad has 2/16' PowerRiver Panels set-up to make an alley - when we tie a horse here it can only move forward or back. Dad use this in many ways so horses train Their Selves: Teaching a horse to give to a bite (Head Set) - run the reins back through the Palmmel (sp) and up to the rope - put a pipe or post behind the horse (in the panel) so the horse can only back up to where the reins hang over the saddle. When the horse moves forward it learn to give to the Bite and moves back. This can also be used in a Boxstall. I have never seen a horse Buck with Dad (other than a playful crow-hop) He claims he KNOWS HORSES - The Trick is to "always one step ahead of them." (Some people are born with "THAT" - some can Learn "THAT" - some never learn "THAT") [b]It's like Curley said in City Slickers When you know THAT ONE THING :!: "That" hinges on the subject also :!:[/b] He says that when he was a "Bronc Stomper" and not yet a "Horse Trainer" this is one of the tricks he used. None Taken :!: I've been taught to keep my mouth shut/my eyes & ears open and to learn how everyone dose it... "Then Pick and Chose what work for you" :!: "We're all Born Dumb but [u]SOME[/u] Learn" :!: I learn alot in just typing his word :!: we talk and send this to his Grandchildern [/QUOTE]
