They've had ropes, hoses, whatever I can think of around their legs, and they just stand for it. They're both older than 3, but both are pretty sensible and low-key. Domino wouldn't run anywhere if there was grass, anyway! (I'm not even kidding. A little kid bounced off him once, he walked two steps and started eating, and the hardest part was getting his head back up. Ponies.)
As I start halter breaking all of my colts dragging & stepping on long stiff leads they all just take right to it....They will usually get wrapped once or twice,throw small fits & think ok & go to eating....& it stays with them....Just done it a couple times apiece last fall & just doing it again now & they just eat.......Just another little thing thats handy & very good for their future safety.....
