[QUOTE="Alan, post: 398518, member: 378"] It really doesn't matter what the horse breaks to get free. If the horse knows if they pull back hard enough it will break, halter, lead, inner tube they will try to break it every time. You have to make it very uncomfortable for the horse to try to break it. So for halters with pressure points, or the gadgets that apply pressure. But you also have to be ready for a wreck, on the flip side what good is a horse that won't tie? My gelding started pulling back a few years ago, and he broke the snap on the cross tie, from then on he would try to break free everytime until I got rough with him. I had him in the natural halter, with pressure points, had him tied in a cross tie without snaps, just rope, (tied high). A freind and good horseman was holding a third rope, lead rope if you will, and I stood in back to the side with a whip. It was the last time he tried to pull and break free. When he pulled back it hurt, when he stood like he should he got reward, not grain just soft word and rubs. Positive and negitive reinforcment. Make sure you are safe and have a safe exit incase there is a wreck. JMO, Alan [/QUOTE]
