This is an untrained filly, not broke to lead. We will be using her in this demonstration.

Keith Temple haltered the filly in the barn, then brought her to the pen for training.














Makin' a loop. Uh, oh. That's calf roper lingo, not draft horse!














Moving slowly to allow the filly to adjust to the feel of the rope.


















Filly with the rope in position on the hindquarters.














Gently pull the rope and halter together.














Starting to pull on the hindquarters to get the horse moving forward.
