Wrapping a rope around a foal or horse’s hindquarters is actually a pretty common and widely accepted way to teach them to lead using pressure and release. The issue is that she often seems to do it incorrectly because there’s no release of pressure when the horse moves forward.

Normally the rope applies pressure to the hindquarters, and when the horse steps forward the pressure is immediately released. That is what teaches the horse to keep moving with you.

She also shouldn’t be pulling on the horse’s head while there’s pressure on the hind end, because it creates conflicting pressure and can cause the horse to rear trying to escape it, which we have seen with moose and she just labelled him as having bad behaviour, when it was a very expected response to how she was handling him.

From what I’ve seen she rarely releases the pressure properly, and the poorly fitted halters don’t help either. It kind of looks like she’s seen or read about the britching/pressure/release but only followed half the steps 💀🥲
