I have a question for you all -in your opinions, is the idea that some (very rare) horses wil only ground tie a truth, or an old wives' tale? -I ask because our 2 year old seems to think this is the way it works. Ground ties (which i HATE, by the way) like a charm; tie her, and she'll break whatever you've tied her with or to as soon as that slip knot is tied, then stand patiently. I know some people use rope halters and leads to prevent this, but I'm afraid she'll hurt herself. I will be speaking with a trainer this week, but in the mean time, opinions?
