Location: Bessmer City NC		been having some issues with my 8 yr old patterned horse hes not a finished horse by any means. a friend suggested trying a tie down on him last night and so i did... WOW it was like something clicked and he finally RAN by far the best run hes ever made... why would the tie down make that big of a difference??

Sometimes for balance ... I've seen it before and as they learn to hold themselves correctly you can loosen the tie down.
