The magic fix for restless horses

[nocoincidences]

Need to shoe your feisty horse? Give this a try, then report back to us here about whether it works!

1. What's the reasoning? Is the tape like a comforting hand pat?

This is genius.
Thanks!

2. Same principle as a twitch, I guess

Basically gives them something else to think about.

OR, you could just train the horse to stand still for the farrier (blacksmith). Start at an early age.

3. Think it would work for cats at the vet's?

4. Since I had to talk to him anyway,

I asked my farrier if he'd ever heard of this. He said, he had a client try it years ago, and the ensuing explosions from her colt started a fire that nearly burnt the barn down.

Of course, babies are always kind of crazy....
