[QUOTE="Alan, post: 365650, member: 378"] First let me say, again, I truly hate my wife's 16.2 hh TB, so if that come through on this post please disregard it. :D Sounds like the previous owner let him get away with a bunch and problably let him get away a few times while leading him. So first you have got to do your best not to let him break free from you while leading him, if he does get away once he'll know he can. If he ties well, tie him to a tree or strong post (so he can't break free) for a couple of hours. Make sure you are doing somthing so you can watch him. Let him scream to the other horses all he wants. As far as leading him and he crowds you, I like to use my elbow. I don't look at the horse I just take a shot at them with my elbow while I'm walking them if they get too close, just like another horse would kick them. I realize that you have a 16.3 TB, I'm 6'3" and handle 15.2,15.3 QH. So you may want to carry a riding crop and do the same thing. The key is to smack them or take a shot at them while you are walking and without looking at them. Then act like nothing happened, just keep walking. Just some things to try. Alan [/QUOTE]
