The South African method ties the head of a new horse to a steady horse with a cord between headstalls. After saddling and bridling, the schoolmaster mounts first, then the young horse can not buck or run. The ally horse provides confidence, teaching pace and burden. Eventually the cord is removed. It lacks aim to train a good mouth and can make horses hesitant to go alone.
