Richard Boatwright thanks, I will give that a shot.

That's a good follow-up question. I personally haven't tried one but was wondering if it might be a good tool for that objective.  I've struggled with the right method(s) to teach a horse to tie (at least well enough to trust leaving them tied out of sight).

Hey there Richard Boatwright  - I received the package. Thank you! I'll sport the cap and mug with pride.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

I figured I misquoted one of them and would have to get the sharpie out...haha

What's the purpose of the black lines/rope connected to the reins?
