[QUOTE="I luv herfrds, post: 640859, member: 5917"] Hayray I would never use a whip on teaching a horse to lead or load. One guy I worked for years ago applied a whip to a horse I was loading in the trailer. That stud darn near broke a few bones when he crashed into me trying to get away from the whip. That horse trusted me and was walking right in with no problem. This same guy wouldn't let me teach one of his weanling's how to lead by use of the butt rope. His idea was put the halter on the colt, tie it to the mares tail then lead the mare around. Needless to say the colt went one way the mare the other and I was pinned against the mare with both lead ropes crisscrossed in front of me. He stood there laughing thinking it was funny, but he got the ropes released fast when I pulled out my pocket knife to cut them. When he was gone the next day I taught that stud colt the lead with the butt rope. Just a little time was all that was needed. [/QUOTE]
