Brutus will be available when the time is ready. Julius was adopted by my friend and he is doing amazing!

@@CamillesMustangs Thanks for the updates on Brutus and Julius.

Horses should always be tied at or above either level. Especially horses that are learning how to tie. If he were to rear up he could catch his foot in the leadrope and her hurt if it wasn’t tied high enough

*wither level

i rewatched that part, he did bring his foot up to his belly but that foot came down fast

Yeah u had to watch this video back a couple times to figure out what actually happened. He brought his leg up to his belly but then h kicked out sideways and actually made contact with my thigh. I was definitely right to jump away although that is what caused him to set back

So if you can't hard tie, how would you teach a horse to tie? You can't let them break away if they set back because then they'll learn that's the answer and that's how they can get away. There comes a point where they do have to stand and realize that there is pressure when they back up.

@@Polopony20. I didnt mean horses arent supposed to be tied or not learn to be tied at all. With all the youngsters or rescues I worked with or those from the owners that i visited I basically do it like this: Tying isnt a first priority for me. I work on handling, desensitization, halter leading and giving into pressure. I want them to learn to give to pressure without resistance or panic on every spot of the body and in the halter at hand, before I even ATTEMPT tying. Then for the tying itself: I start by standing at the pole/ring I'm tying them to and put the rope around/through and dont tie it yet, I hold the end up the rope in my hand. Then, holding onto the rope and having some slack, I gently ask the horse to back up or move away till the slack is gone. Once it's gone, I hold pressure with the rope and the horse should give into the pressure and take a step forward. I keep practicing until I'm fully confident that the horse understands that if the pressure comes, he yields and doesnt panic. Then I start introducing proper tying with a break away (either a small string from a piece of balling twine or a breakaway ring, I dont like the panic snaps bc they dont always work). Whenever I train tying, its after they have worked and finished cooldown, tying them immediately after work isnt good for them bc higher blood pressure and faster breathing should calm down first and the muscles can stretch that way beforehand) and ALWAYS in a normal stable halter or leather halter. Even my old dead broke horses never get tied with rope halters, if they spook I would rather have them break away and run off on my fenced in area than break their neck or pole or damage it otherwise. I hope that makes sense, it's a bit hard to explain over text! Also! I dont work with youngsters on tying until they're at least 2-3, if I'm handling beforehand it's always just in hand or with ground tying. The reason is, is bc the growth plates of the atlas (first neck vertebrae) are the last growth plate to finish forming into bone, compared to the others. It usually finishes developing at 8, but its usually fine to start tying at 2-3, under that age the pole is still too unstable.

@@Polopony20. oh jesus, sorry that the explanation turned out so long!

The hard tie is fine u never had a horse keep breaking free, that can be extremely dangerous in itself, a child owner had her arm broken then sold her to a dealer who couldn't sell her and i took the mare, then i hard tied her and she never broke free again.

@@ngc4486diane @ngc4486diane ... I spent thousands of hours over a couple of years studying the anatomy of horses, being an intern at an orthopedic horse clinic and a vet and work with horses with neck issues from throwing themselves in the halter almost daily. Hard tying is NOT okay. The pole is extremely sensitive, there are spinal nerves exiting close by, the muscles and joints are especially important in this area for riding. The atlas and axis connection is through tiny bones that easily snap, I had multiple horses being put down for it while working for a vet. If you have a horse that constantly breaks free, you got other priorities than tying, something in the groundwork wasnt properly done, luxation in pole or neck were potentially hurting, etc. I work with horses that get rescued from extreme abusive cases and had a lot of dangerous horses with tying issues. It was always an issue with something else, not just the tying, which fixed itself after the other work. I only had one horse who just wouldnt get comfy with tying even after trainings, check ups, therapy and neck scans, welp then you find an alternative. Trained ground tying, used positive reinforcement and practiced tying him next to his pasture buddy in the beginning, boom tying fixed. I studied it for years and have a degree in it, im not gonna have a discussion with you knowing I'm right, if you dont have an equal or higher degree in the same field.

This is not meant as a negative comment but he looks shutdown to me not like he is enjoying himself. Though horses have to learn patience like the rest of us....
