Thank you for this video. I have several horses but one mare that sits back. The "sitting back" is a serious and dangerous problem. I use the blocker tie ring for saddling but need something more secure for trailer tying. I will be ordering one. Thanks again!

EXCELLENT teaching tool - gonna get a double ring asap 👍👍 Thanks

I use tie rings for both my boys and they are just great, thankyou for showing

You don't tie a horse to a secure fixed object until the horse knows how to tie.

this is excellent! my horse has broken halters, lead snaps and run off with my deck from spooking while tied. quick release only tightens when horse pulls back, but teaching him how to stand is excellent! ****Please make a video on dealing with overly alert horses? not spooky exactly, but horses on the constant lookout for monsters, and teaching them to relax (mine is like this even in his pasture, and he's near top of the herd!)

Cool invention bud 👍 it takes the anxiety away from a horse that is feeling cloustrafobic or scared of being tied up ,,its not for a smart ass horse that just dosnt want to be tied up or gets board of having to stand there but its for a scared horse just to feel that little bit of reliese so it dosent just flip out from stress and hard pressure ,, cheers matey ill give it a go 😁

Like the honesty of this demonstration. Not hiding anything re the horse's behavior. I like blocker ties. Though we teach our foals by hard tying them very early on. Then move onto blocker tie as I can take anywhere with me. I once had two older mares, not bred by me, who pulled back horribly. They were too old to hard tie. The blocker tie cured the problem. The comment about tying to a horse float is not relevant when using a blocker tie as this horse is not hard tied. I would agree with the comment if the house were hard tied.

Would love to get hold of a few of these in australia

This is a good video. Thank you. I like this horse, too.

Great video sir! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I can't get past him even THINKING of doing this without knowing how his horse handles a flag.

If your using 30’ do you continue to move towards him until he stops? What if you run out of rope?

Nice 🙏Thanks

Thanks so much, I am a long time horseman, and never had a reason to need this solution but I do now and I am thankful you have provide a solution. Ride on.

Cute lil horse!

I have a horse that really sits back with any poll pressure. she CHRONICALLY sits back. would the tie ring help with that?

Will this work for a horse that will stand tired but if spooked she will pull back and run away .

I just bought your tie ring it's great 😀

Neat video! Think this is a great way to teach a horse to tie confidently. I've also heard about using something strong but stretchy to let the horse move a little if he gets scared. I have seen too many videos of people hard tying with only about a foot of rope and then intentionally spooking the horse. What usually follows in those videos is a sustained pullback where the horse doesn't stop fighting the tie.

I've got a horse no one on earth can fix When tied, his eyes get three times normal size, and he shoots back like a Howitzer shell going off. Everything a horse can muster in a thousandth of a second.BAM!!! surprised he hasn't broken his own neck. it is not defiance or he doesn't want to work, it is sheer Terror that he is feeling. he thinks he's going to die horribly Untie him and all the fear evaporates that moment and it's like nothing ever happened. it just shuts off like a light. I've had him four years and I tack him up just holding the lead rope. He's fine that way. I've tried at length to cure him but nothing will work.

Get a heavy nylon halter, and a heavy rope. Tie him to an "open view" solid post or telephone pole - not to a wall or trailer where he can't see 360°. Once he settles down ON HIS OWN give him some treats. Make sure you or no one else is freaking out with the horse - stand and calmly watch or just walk away so he knows you're not causing his issue. A few times of this should break the habit. If not, then saddle him, lead him to the post/pole, tie up a front foot and tie him up. If he goes down stretched out on the rope - let him lay there for a few minutes and calm down and figure things out, then get him up and DO IT AGAIN IMMEDIATELY - and do it until he LEARNS to stand. Any horse can learn - and (no offense intended) when people say "my horse can't be fixed" they're just saying "I have no clue what I'm doing".

Some horses just need to be free. They are just like people and some are mentally handicapped and some need to be in the state pen. You can’t train them all… I’ve trained horses for 50 years, some need to be left alone.

I'm confused, isn't this teaching a horse to pull back in order to release the pressure? Horses pull and are able to move away from whatever they are scared of right? Don't we want to teach them that pulling doesn't result in a release of pressure?

@kristakerr2624

The key is in the pressure he puts on the horse with the flag. As long as the horse pulls back he still applies pressure. But, as soon as the horse stops pulling back, the pressure goes away, teaching the horse that coming forward or at least not pulling back is the only way to have relief from the pressure. Great video. Easy to get, very helpful. Cheers from down under 👍🤠

That exactly what I was thinking. By giving the horse the ability to pull the rope through the ring, and lengthen their own rope, you can teach the horse that when they pull, the rope will get longer... the key is the timing when releasing the pressure from the bag... if you release too early, than all you're teaching is pulling is the right answer... but if you're waiting until the horse stops pulling, then it can teach them pulling is the wrong answer.. I think it depends on the horse, and how good you are with pressure/release timing

Hello Ponyabout Town. The trailer in the video is 3,600 lbs. Even my stoutest horse, a 1,350 pound 15.2 HH QH could not budge that trailer pulling sideways. A common lead rope snap or the halter itself would break well before Super Horse could pull a trailer sideways. Having said that, when using a common yacht braid lead rope with my Functional Tie Ring, the lead rope will begin to pull through and around the bevel on the tie ring at 18 pounds pressure. Newer and stiffer lead ropes would require additional pulling pressure but certainly not 800 lbs which is the weight of the roan in the video. Appreciate your caution, it is always appropriate to be more cautious than not, but unwarranted in this case.

Even though he is still tied, when he pulls back he gets some release. Not good. That teaches him that pulling is the right answer. I want a horse to realize that pulling back is the wrong answer. And that standing still and relaxed is the right answer.

Should have a neck collar on, ropes inflict way too much pressure on nerves etc. The thinner the rope the more pressure on the horse. This would have caused major soreness to that horses poll. Neck collars take pressure off the poll area and release and support. This way is forcing the horse through fear first. There are far better ways than this. Unfortunately

when my horse pulls back I just let her pull back. If she is gonna be stubborn then she's gonna be stubborn. She has pulled back in the trailer before and I stood aside waiting for her to realize that if she don't pull she won't have no pain or pressure on her head.

You must be a special kind of stupid

You tie a horse to keep them from going somewhere. These tie rings basically teach a horse TO PULL BACK!!! You tie him up, put on the pressure, he pulls back, you release pressure, and then reward him. Lesson learned. "He wants me to pull back when I am scared." I agree with just about all of the training methods used now days vs. old school methods, but I am sorry the only solid way to teach a horse to not pull back is still old school. Hard tie them right away with something that won't break. They learn really quick that it does no good at all to pull back. Yes you do run the risk of injuring the horse, but this is the only way to guarantee they'll never pull back, and maybe hurt, or kill a person. I have seen a horse pull back that was tied to a trailer at a rodeo, and damn near killed a little kid that was walking by. I'd rather risk killing the horse by PROPERLY teaching them to NEVER pull back, then kill a person. I'll say it again, THESE STUPID TIE RINGS TEACH HORSES TO PULL BACK!!!

You should watch the video again. The gentleman said you do not release the pressure of the flag until the horse stops pulling back or shows some sign that he is going to stop pulling back. This method helps the horse desensitized to the pressure without injury. I think the person kept this video short for viewers sake, but in a real training you would keep doing it or you would do another, or as many sessions as needed to show the horse pulling is not necessary. The trainer said this but may not have been as clear as it needed to be. I had a horse that got hit by a tarp that blew on an extremely windy day while tied and started to pull as well as be scared of anything blowing. I had to desensitize to a flag 8 times(did it in 9 days) and because my release was correct, he is actually a calmer, quieter horse now than before the tarp incident.

The trainer hard tied the horse with a lead rope and cotton rope tied around the girth and through the legs. The horse was so frightened she froze then jumped straight up and over. It was the end of her 7 years. I had suggested to the owner to get a tie ring the day earlier. She brought the horse to a trainer instead who believed his methods would work. Very sad. I’d have gotten the tie ring as I’ve seen it in my trainer’s barn and she explained it was in case a horse hauled back and not injure itself.
