I am so glad that other people are recommending them for horses with tying issues too! The blocker tie ring is easy enough for a child to use, and in my opinion, it is the best way to teach horses how to tie without scaring them. In my experience, horses that have learned to stand tied with the blocker tie ring usually do not have a problem transitioning to being tied solid. &lt;BR/&gt;I recommend that my clients buy the blocker tie ring too, what a great idea to give it as a gift to the buyer!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/5743481089344535719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/5743481089344535719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html?showComment=1226428020000#c5743481089344535719' title=''/><author><name>PalyReiner</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05443278138879744236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09214771397866523678'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15095013.post-239577628722124531' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/posts/default/239577628722124531' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15095013.post-5816874483334666626</id><published>2008-11-09T14:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-09T14:10:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>What a great idea to give the tie ring as a gift! ...</title><content type='html'>What a great idea to give the tie ring as a gift!  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think things happen for a reason sometimes, and hopefully she will soon find her match :)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Deanna</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/5816874483334666626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/5816874483334666626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html?showComment=1226257800000#c5816874483334666626' title=''/><author><name>Deanna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11248012197291099658</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='01985490513982257511'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15095013.post-239577628722124531' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/posts/default/239577628722124531' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15095013.post-3426016212383251959</id><published>2008-11-07T14:57:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T14:57:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Thank You, Deanna!

I happened across the website and watched the instructional videos...It looks like just what we need. I can't wait to get started! If we find a buyer, they may get the Blocker Tie ring as my special gift to them, with instructions to USE IT (ALWAYS)!!!&lt;BR/&gt;At the time I was so discouraged when I thought that we lost a sale, their excuse "we have to be able to tie her".  In hind sight, this really isn't the best home for our horse. Great care was taken with her training to make sure she has a solid foundation. It was our intention to pass her on to my grand-daughter who is now nearing two. It's amazing the great pains you take when you plan on your precious loved one learning to ride with the horse. &lt;BR/&gt;The prospective owners admitted that she was the most well trained and responsive horse they were looking at, but this one little issue was their excuse. She really deserves to have compassion and respect, I think she deserves better. And we are still looking for the right match.&lt;BR/&gt;Thank you for your help and encouragement!&lt;BR/&gt;Jeanette</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/3426016212383251959'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/239577628722124531/comments/default/3426016212383251959'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html?showComment=1226087820000#c3426016212383251959' title=''/><author><name>Jeanette</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02957611498267858588</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://professionalhorse.blogspot.com/2008/11/reader-question-teaching-horse-to-tie.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15095013.post-239577628722124531' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15095013/posts/default/239577628722124531' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
