Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas		To all the ones that have horses that set back watch out for your fingers when tieing. One set back on a fella so fast that he lost two fingers befor he knew it.

That happened to my neighbor as well. He is missing half his thumb.

Griz - 2017-09-28 10:07 AM The last couple I have had would do it randomly (which is almost worse since you don't expect it). It is now a deal-breaker for me. I won't have one and if one starts it AFTER I own it, I'll use a tie ring so we both don't get hurt. NOBODY ever had this problem when I was growing up - I wonder why??

I think there are a couple of reasons.  One is the sheer number of horses being hauled now versus then.  Two is I know I rode my horses a lot more back then than I do now.  I would ride all day, versus now ride an hour or less a day.  They were glad to be tied up!

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah		Silly filly nailed it.When I have one that wants to set back.I work them into a nice soaking wet lather. Then I tie up. Most of the time they learn it's easier to stand quiet vs setting back. When tied up short they don't get that full momentum pendulum to set back. They have to squat low to pull.less grain and more time in the saddle.
