@Zoë Coade will do she seems to be nervy when the rope halter is on and i see a difference in her ears and demeanor rope halter ears back not calms seems to be fighting the pressure as where the nylon halter she gives easily ears are ina neutral and positive position she aslo seems to fight the rope halter when weare leading not actually piushing me to test boundries where i thaught she was testing or pushing cause she could not stand still not me its the halter where the nylon halter she had absolutely no problem standing still even when food was there at a distance so i see a very clear difference at first we thauht oh she just wanted toget to the food but that was not it at all will add diffreneces on post once videos are up
I have a thaught a brain idea
So rope halter apply pressure right mostly used for training purposes nylon or padded nylon halters/breakaway halters have minimal pressure but what if we get compliance through understanding instead of pressure A lady who measured shes impatient has a well bred friesian x andalusian filly huge doesnt eve wanna ride her home bred for her with impoted stud doesnt wanna ride her when shes ready horse is too big too scared to horse is too strong but she also doesnt spend time with this filly shes a chiro and can do farrier work not bad at all certified but she told me to add and extra two knots to the rope halter i am using and i was why am i using. Arope halter it helps with pressure but i dont wanna fight my filly into submission cause shes strong she has do willingly respect my space trhough mutual respect and understanding ao im doing a test will film both rope and nylon will be labled as rope vs nylon test watch out for that coming soon
Gravy measurement update and prediction
The stick measured 14.1hh whih i feel swas not very accurate she didnt stand still in cm i measured 148cm whihc is closer to 14.3hh than 14.1hh her dam is confirmed 15.1hh and percheron x frieshian x boerperd sire is still unknown so no clue what are yalls predictions for her mature height i have been told 15.1 at most but not knowing the sire doesnt help much i know. Amajority of horses finsih around the dams height but sires can add so details Currently 148 cm Age 1 year 7 months bday is in july Dam percheron x frisian x boerperd Sire unknown estimated height in discussion Adding pics as a 3 month old 6 month old and a 1 year old
