I have, it seems, allowed my 5 yr old gelding to get away with something bad. He will no longer ground tie. It is a nusience for me, most times I'm not anywhere that he can be tied when I dismount.

Any suggestions for re-training him to ground tie?

I'm not an expert by any means, but I would use a refresher course, with real stout reins and an anchor of some sort. Set up your tie off when he isn't looking, and stop and get off by coincidence there.
May or not work, but I'll bet it won't hurt anything. Or else start hobble training. There's probably 50 or so ideas on RFD-Tv, I'm not sure as I don't watch that much.
Be prepared for some better suggestions.

I really feel inferior, if you live out of sattelite range.
I'll tell you straight up, every horse is different, obviuosly, but I "like" the sound of of the theory, even if I repeated it from somewhere.
It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on this bronc; I'd bet you can break him to tie again real quick.
Where are you from Muratic?

No need for that, now. I'm probably a lot closer to town than most you folks.
Country is kinda rough and we set in a draw. So for the satalite to work bettern the antenne it would have to be set pretty far away from the house. Besides, other than CSI, what is there to watch? And I reckon I'm just too cheap to pay for the satalite anyhow.
When I have time the computer is on, not the tv.

Well Big Muddy, I've just been lurking. Been around since way before the new format. Guess I just got a burrdock up my butt and decided to start talking. How bout a quick picture of a piece of my place, will that ease the eye rolling for a little? Most of my southern friends lke to call me a yankee.

Thanks,
Pretty good sized creek that runs thru that holler. But, that was a July picture. Was starting to get dry then. Got real dry reat fast after that.

I'll see if I can get ya'll a picture of me and my troublesome gelding. That way Big Muddy won't be mad at me anymore. Embarassed

Ot, I was going to take some pictures of packing silage and since that is a disaster, just put some gray hair on that monkey and that's me.. I do like jokes, and laughter is good for what ails you...We have a digital camera, so maybe I can get some pictures on... Laughing Laughing
