Hello,
I've been working Maggie with the long lines in the round pen but the end of the ropes keep getting tangled (20ft ropes) and we have to stop and untangle it so much we both get frustrated and quit. Clay Maier suggests using climbing rope - but the price ranges a lot and there are different kinds. What do you all use to work a horse in long lines? If you use climbing rope what kind and where do you get it? What length do you prefer? The rope I have also does not slide easily back and forth through the tugs on the saddle girt so that it doesn't give on the bit when she moves her head. Teaching her to ground drive is fun, exciting, but difficult.
