Anna Hedrich Hi! 

Been on the road the last couple of days, so sorry for the delay. 

Thanks for the kind words!  A few things on tying with a snaffle.  I don't like to do it when they are fresh or if I expect there could be any shenanigans.  A buddy close by is best.  I like to keep the rope about 20 inches (what's that in metrics?🤦‍♂️) from his chin to the rail or post.  But, I like to soft tie the horse so that if he gets in a bind, the rope will slip.  I don't leave them and go off to do something else, I just try to stay bust near by.  The reasoning behind the exercise is simple.  Let the horse get comfortable wearing a piece os steel in his mouth and teach him to stand quietly at the same time.  If he gets anxious, just untie him and put him to work for a few minutes, then tie him back up.  Rinse and repeaat until you have the quiet horse you want.  Let me know how it goes!  RB
