Horses, even very heavy ones, if well trained do not need to be restrained in any way, when being shod. The rope can make it easier for the farrier, but can make the job dangerous when a horse tries to fight it because he is starting to feel uncomfortable.
I agree with you Klaus. Ropes can become a “Snake” and cause many kinds of problems. Better to work for short periods and more breaks until the horse becomes accustomed to holding the hoof up.
Very interesting.
from a shooting dog trainer " its all tone of voice " absolutely no point in touching them
This is a real Goodtalk.
