Location: WI | I have 1 that will set back a couple times a year, which I wouldn't call a habit. He must spook at random stuff. I tie him to twine, he won't go far, and call it good.
The whole inner tube thing scares me, I was at a rodeo once where a horse set back, then lunged forward, knocked himself out, died on the spot. I think if I had one that was habitual, I would use a tie blocker ring.

| I use the clip and love it. You have to use the lead ropes with the smooth finish not the big bulky ones. |

It seems to not pull through as easy as the Blocker ring, so I was worried. Will try it. I have both. |

Location: Texas | We used to have a mare that would set back. We discovered that if we tied her just a bit longer, so she could look around, she would not set back. Broke many halters and snaps before discovering her quirks!! |

Location: Florida | I really like the Clinton Anderson rope halters. I have had mine set back for various reasons throughout the years and nothing broke, they did not get loose and I was easily able to get the halter off afterwards. |

Location: Buffalo, TX | redmanth - 2014-11-20 4:22 PM you said to put lead rope through both loops?? do you run through trailer tie and then tie ends? do I then tie my lead rope? thnx for good info.
Yes, tie a knot in the inner tube and let both loops hang down and thread your lead through BOTH loops...one loop stretches too far and they can reach the ground.. |

Location: MD | The tie ring worked for me, he's a real cool guy but liked to pull back on occasion. Before I knew he'd pull back being tied for a bath so I stood with a rope around his butt and "bumped" him forward and surprisingly he listened. I only do that when I am pretty positive he'll do it. he hasn't done it in a long time.. **knock on wood**
