This message is from: "Ulrike Schnabl" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hallo everyone on this beautiful May morning,
as I am gearing up for a long trailride today,I quickly went through my horsey e-mail.To teach a horse to tie is in my opinion one of the most valuable lessons to be learned early on.For us the high-line(long rope between two trees) has worked wonders. I put the youngster together with an experienced horse(far enough apart,so they can't reach each other with hoofs and teeth) on the line.We increase the time they have to be on it gradually.One can put a haynet right next to the horse on the line,so the horse experiences something positive.However,I give them this treat only after they have accepted to be restricted for a while. The highline has the advantage of a little flexibility,so a young unpatient horse is less likely to injure neck and shoulders when pulling back. Regards Uli Schnabl Get 2 Months FREE*
