Front leg restraint on a horse

Teaching a horse leg restraints has benefits far beyond the actual training. It removes the 'Flight from fear' response and teaches them to think before they run or fight. It also prevents all injuries caused by reefing and tearing that often happens if they get a foot stuck in a fence or hay net - they simply wait for you to rescue them. The benefit to the farrier is obvious. It is also very useful training if the horse has a hind leg injury - you simply put the leg strap on the front leg on the same side and he cannot kick you or your vet. It CURES the horse who will not pick up and hold his feet for the handler or farrier, VERY QUICKLY!! It is usually a non-event and does not frighten them at all - after all, fear is the last thing that we want our horses to have and completely counter-productive to ALL training. The front leg restraint is the first leg restraint to be taught to the horse and it must be done on both sides, for several short sessions.
