LOL.

I know an old man that had a stud that would set back and break leads every time. He finely tied him to a metal post with several ropes to several halters, and sat back and watched. Took something like 2 days before he saw slack in the lead rope. But that horse never did that again.

I don't know that I agree with that method:), but when they get full grown and have a habit like that, I don't know any other way you could break them of it. I wouldn't keep a horse I could leave tied up.

My DIL double tied our stud to the trailer at a ride, he couldn't break the halter or the ropes so he broke the trailer :)

Indy (the gelding) has enough good points that we sort of overlook the appaloosa part of him every once in awhile. Sometimes it's a stretch (like when he rears up going up a hill) but then we remember he stands like a statue while autistic kids crawl all over him.
