Okay, I have a strange question about the training of Arabian Halter horses. Is there a common command used to ask them to "stretch" into the halter
position?
I really AM asking for a reason...I'm beginning to suspect my half-Arab may have had some extensive training early on, and it may have included halter. I've tried to set him up, and I keep getting this look from him like "Say the Magic Word, lady, and I'll do it. No Magic Word, no stretchie." (He's like that.) He'll put his feet in the correct position without fuss, but seems to be...well, WAITING for something more from me. I just have no idea what it is he might be waiting for, lol!
Of course, I could be dead wrong. Happens a lot.
