Step one step back. Off the rope? nope ... rope still there. OK - step up two steps and then maybe a sidepass? ... oh look! rope is now free. If rope is not freed after attempts such as this, I will untangle - but ... I will try yielding Henry in whatever direction I think it is possible to untangle the rope. It is done slowly with subtle communication and I ensure it is VERY friendly. My rapport with the boy is EVERYthing. I am the biggest marshmallow on the planet and asking a horse to yield in any direction should be at the slightest and most subtle of suggestion. I will only increase my energy, if I am being ignored (and even at that, it certainly is not like the example of the extreme that was mentioned).

Its then mentioned that " if the line continues to drag, he will automatically stop and look, demanding that I fix it. " I do not understand the game of " backwards / sideways / forwards / backwards", as far as helping much of anything. __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?
