Afraid of exorcism
In last nights group lesson, as we were finishing, my instructor suggested we try using a tail bandage while riding in lessons, to remind my horse he has 4 legs to think about and use. I didn't have time to discuss it last night and will discuss it more on the weekend but, I thought I'd google it today to look at what to expect and I'm not having much luck. I found an archived thread with a link to Gail Williams website which did show a horse in a video with some tail bandages around the front and back but it was being lunged not ridden and didn't explain how or how many tail bandages (he's a big horse).
An experienced friend has offered to help me long rein him at the weekend so we can be sure he's happy and used to ropes etc going around his back legs, he was broken to harness when he was young, hasn't done it in a few years but we're quite confident he will be fine.
Can anyone recommend some light reading on the subject or do any of you have pictures you can share of how you did it?
Thanks.
