[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 239038, member: 57"] we used to have one like that at work that figured out if he jerked the lead rope out of the girls' hands (equestrian team) he could run away. he did it with me one day and i held on. i got drug the gravel a little ways before i let go and then i cornered him in the catch pen and beat the living daylights out of him with his still attached rope and backed him up about half mile. none of us ever had anymore troubles with ol' Maxie Pad after that. Another fruitcake named Good (misnomer)wouldnt tie and we hung a long rope from the rafter of the barn with a clip on it and that was his tie area. we had ties on each side too to snap to the side of the halter and when he would pull back those would snap off but the rafter rope was still on. it worked pretty good for him. snapping a clip on is a lot easier and faster than tying a rope when the horse isnt cooperative. also, if you have problems with them breaking the ties (talking bout crossties), tie some baling twine to the pole or whatever to attach your ties too. that way they break the twine and not the tie.
