Does your horse understand about being tied?

How often do you tie your horse and how long do you leave him/her there?

Jody Ruysen – 3 Star Parelli Professional discusses tying horses.

Tied correctly, a simple rope halter can be an invaluable groundwork training aid. I think of a rope halter as a training aid. It allows you to apply enough pressure on a horse’s face to get his attention and/or gain control.

It is a far superior tool, in my opinion, and experience, than using a stud chain on a horse for control because you can finesse the pressure with a rope halter. A stud chain will put constant pressure on the horse - you can make the pressure worse but you can never totally release it.
