I have been practicing walking behind Lucy on the snowy trails and holding on to her tail, c/t walk on, trot, whoa, etc., no steering yet tho <G>.


:ieks: Please don't hang on or pull her tail... this can do harm to her spine!

But really much fun to play in de snow like this :yes: :D I was hoping it would melt over here but now I hope it stays long enough for me to be pulled by Evita :applause:

Oh I am only walking, and barely leaning,just so she knows I'm there???? Not skijorring?

Also, not to disagree,but I thought a lot of horses LIKE having their tails pulled or leaned on, and they even lean into it?? My chiropracter showed me how to do it??

Comments?

Brenda

Hi I agree our horse Chiropractor also told us to gently pull the tail out as an stretching exercise. :yes:

Hi, Dee,

Pull or lift?

I'm curious too what harm can come to the spine by the tail being pulled.

Here is a clip of me walking behind and holding Lucy's tail, practicing driving at liberty, clicker style of course! I am trying to teach her that when I let go of her tail (new cue) it means to stop "and Whoa' (old cue):

Hi Brenda that looks like a fun game. She really listens to you :)

Donald good point I don't really know what it does to the spine, i'll ask the chiropractor when he comes back in a few months. We were taught to gently pull it out for a stretching and relaxing exercise. My guys seem to actually like it. Their tails are clamped before hand and after they carry it out.
