Location: WI | Interesting... Looks like a lariat around the neck - is that all he's tied with? |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | I only watched a few mins of it, but why would you do this on a slick cement floor?And where the horse can break his neck ramming into the wall?  Did the video get better?  |

Location: Bandera, TX | Not big on the slick floor, but it's a good method. One of the big name trainers tried to do this with my setting back mare a few years ago, and we could not get her to set back, no matter what we flung at her. She just looked at us like we had gone crazy... :/ |

| Not a bad method but as I watched I couldn't help wonder how long the person's legs were that rode in that saddle. They were LONG.

| I couldn't watch it - stupiest thing Ive ever seen! Horse with shoes on and wet cement and slick rubber mats and tie the horse up so he's scared out of his wits. Shame on him - he's not a horse trainer! |

Notice only the back feet are on the slick floor..... Never mind breaking his neck on the wall.. he can do that just by sucking back hard enough... Which I guess is alleviated by the slick floor.. Interesting.... |

I hate seeing this horse being trained on on a slick cement floor, not the place, I dont care if its a not bad method training thats not the place to be doing it. I call this person brainless.  |

| This is a horrible method of training. Never mind the slick floor. It's the fact that with the lariat around the neck pulling, if this horse gets in a wreck you could do irreparable ligament and tendon damage to the neck. Great way to give a horse wobblers. Hope he has one hell of a chiro to piece this horse back together after his "training" sessions. |

I understand where you are coming from. What I am saying is, if the horse had ALL 4 feet firmly dug into the ground and sucked back... he could snap his neck.... His front feet are on a mat... His motor is on slick ground...
Personally, I believe there is a better way to teach a horse not to be afraid of something like this. |

Location: Buffalo, TX | This is my cure and it fixed one of the worst horses I've ever had to pull back and teaches others to never start. Every horse is tied like this to my trailers...saves the horse and the trailer...get a 16" bicycle innertube from Wally World about $4...don't cut it...loop it through the trailer tie and tie it in one knot...thread your lead rope through both loops and tie like normal...voila, it stretches, but not to the ground and they figure this out pretty quick. Buy a few spares to start out with because they will break a few before they figure out they aren't tied hard and fast. I use them on my pipe fence also so a horse won't get hurt. Fixes the worst of the worst pullers.

| This an OLD SCHOOL cowboy method. It's amazing to me all these "new methods" that keep "surfacing " as "new". It does work. I have never seen it done quite this way though. |

Location: Mountains of VA | I think the horse handled this extremely well. IF the horse had been used to the plastic thing all over it's body, including hind legs, etc., but was still sitting back at scary things, then I could understand this type of training. Poor horse was scared to death but didn't do anything stupid to jeapordize it's on well being. |

No kidding! Most ANY horse I've ever had would have killed itself! |

Location: N Texas | What. An. Idiot. He's so proud of himself for "fixing" the problem, but didn't care about how terrified that poor horse was. I wonder what he would have done if the horse slipped and fell and couldn't get back up? |
