"Visions of Horses" - Pat Parelli on How to Lead a Horse

I like Pat Parelli, not only is he amazing with horses, but he's also amusing. I like this short little video on leading a horse. Sounds too simple to make a video of, but Pat Parelli explains things so that you can see why it's an important thing to do correctly.

  I love rope halters, not only are they very light-weight, but the knots on the noseband are placed so that they hit pressure points along the horse's nose. When pressure is applied to the halter, the horse learns to yeild to it. This is  certainly an advantage over nylon or leather halters which the horse is able to push against without much discomfort, thereby learning how to resist pressure you might apply, rather than learning to yeild to it.
