I just watched a scene from Everything Miniature with Jim Curry- Showing your Miniature at Halter. I must say it was rather distressing to see how he confused the poor colt he was trying to teach leading to. He put a stallion chain IN ITS MOUTH and just yanked and yanked on it. He told the horse to get up here, it moved up and just a little bit too close to him, instead of pushing him over with a crop or lead rope he yanked on its mouth which made it throw up its head and go backwards. He said NO! Get up here. The horse moved up and he said "You're coming too close!" and yanked on the chain again. Talk about sending MIXED SIGNALS!!! Poor horse didn't know what to do. All I can say that is not a proper way to train a horse and a displeasing image for the uneducated public to believe yanking and hurting a horse's tongue will make it want to walk nicely with you!
