This message is from: Jean Ernest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To teach her to lead you can loop a soft rope around her butt and run it through the halter and put pressure on that. release the pressure at the slightest try, then try again, do the same with the pressure on the halter. she'll soon learn how to relieve the pressure rather than pushing into it. Leading to the side a bit with the halter to displace her feet also helps, again a bit of pressure, hold steady until she releases the pressure herself. do small stepas at a time, she wil soon learn.
