What do you do about a puller?

when you tie her, give her something to do. Maybe a jollyball on the end of a rope. of a haybag with cookies in the bottom?

Get someone to hide behind the stall front and when she goes to pull back throw a bucket of water on her! She sounds a wee bit spoiled to me!

You could always position someone around her, when she is tied, and if she starts to pull back wave a carrot in front of her. :twisted:

She's definitely spoiled and treats will only make her worse.

Carrots and cookies would only reward VERY BAD behavior, and teach her to do it more. The lariat around the barrel is a good maneuver, which I have used to load unbroke (not even broke to lead) yearlings and two year olds into a trailer.

I think that was meant jokingly..just give her a bucket of carrotts while she is tied, she wont take off!
