I am a practitioner of ground tying (and hobbling), albeit a lax one, and
yes, it needs constant re-inforcement to be effective.
If I know I have a Trail course coming up that will have a ground-tying
effort in it, I will practice allot
and moves
a little distance away. The lesson is reinforced by moving further and
further away as the horse learns what is expected. I suppose the
ground-tying lesson is then taught without the hobbles.
The author cautions that if you want a horse to stay exactly in one
place, don't expect a ground tie
