Don't worry Janice. I am way past taking anything

I totally agree with that. I have seen people mount
while tied and it makes me cringe. That is one thing
I know for sure.

I don't think I've ever literally trained a single horse to ground-tie, but
they are usually engaged in the situation enough to stand quietl

Hi Vicka,
>>>my instructor was at her head with the quick-release snaps i think for
just that reason. that said, miss molly did not pull back at all, just
bucked straight up and down with her hind end.
Why was the horse cross-tied for you to mount? I might have missed

Her seat looks fine to me...but I do think she needs to work on "getting her

i don't think she thought i was making fun of her though, i think i got

Oh, good point, Janice. I confess I wasn't even thinking about Loraine when
I wrote that. I was off on a tangent - thinking about how my least favorite
horse became my very favorite horse, not through something he did, but
because of my attitude toward him.

Okay, Anneliese, I am going to take this even farther.
About 2 1/2 years ago I bought my TWH, Hunter. For about two weeks, I went
