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
