[QUOTE="hayray, post: 640810, member: 3046"] I would use the butt rope in conjunction with a whip and use of the voice using your voice to cluck before taping with the whip. I would not let the horse walk in circles around me and or back up, that will teach the horse a lot of bad habits as far as leading and running over the top of you ( msscamp, I am disagreeing with you on this but don't want to upset you since you did provide a lot of information to help out and I am sure that it does work for you but just in general that procedure may not work well for the average person who is learning and has not had alot of experience). Also, do not at all cost use the lead rope to pull the horse forward, horses pull against pressure by instinct, they actually have to be taught to give to pressure and the way it is used in training is that pressure is applied intermitently inorder to get the horse to yield and then the pressure is released before the horse has a chance to lean or pull - This is why riders with bad hands holding on constantly always have horses above the bridle and pulling badly among many other comparisons of the psychology of the pressure instinct. This is a yearling so this animal is a little big already, would have been good to use the butt rope on a weanling so now you will have a lot of hard work ahead of you, no easy way to do it now.
