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).

Ok, now I have a question. Heather, if you want to try and explane it to me
please give it a try.
I agree. Get that. 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.
