my new rising 5yr cob has learnt last week to break free from being tied . it started with reversing whilst tied in trailer and walking backwards to exit! and today she snapped free from being tied whilst washing hers legs.
tied to bailing twine. she is quite strong willed at times which has been frustrating but we have improved a lot on a few things, mounting , leading and waiting . I have had her for 7 months now. I just knew the second she had broken free in the trailer she had learnt from that. she is very bright. thinking of using stronger rope that will not break so she realises she cannot do it anymore and I think she will not bother again? but concerned as to whether that is dangerous, BUT she is pulling back not in fear or panic, it is very calculated and accurate. never runs off just stands there happy in her achievement!
