A First Tying Lesson for a Weanling Colt (Episode 142) - Herm Gailey: A Lifetime with Horses

If your young horse is soft in the halter, leads well, and accepts basic restraint, he is ready to learn to tie. Here is a first lesson for a 7 month old colt.

Herm Gailey has spent a lifetime with horses. He is a nonprofessional rider who starts and trains his own horses to successful careers in multiple disciplines. Away from the show ring Herm retains a deep respect and appreciation for good reliable trail riding horses and believes that all horses benefit from this type of riding.

Buddy is a perfect name for this handsome youngster with a remarkably calm demeanor. It's obvious that you are setting him up for success with the way you are raising him. ❤
