The Teaching Posts are a humorous way of illustrating how to recognize the subtleties of why your horse acts (reacts) the way he does and how you should respond. New Teaching Posts will be added from time to time and we invite you to read them and submit your answer. Bob's explanations of the correct answers for the all the Teaching Posts will be available to you when you submit your answer.

Tying

What do you think about this problem? From the choices listed below, choose the answer which you feel is the proper method to use to TEACH your horse to tie at home or away without breaking halters, lead lines or anything else that he is attached to?

Please make your selection:
[a] Always have someone with you to hold your horse for you.
[b] Teach your horse to willingly give to pressure.
[c] Keep your horse in the trailer.
[d] Use an unbreakable halter/lead line and tie him to a strong tree so he can’t break away.
[e] Use an inner tube or similar elastic device to connect the horse to the fixed object so there is some “give” when the horse pulls back.
