i have a 7 year old SSH gelding.
He's no problem to catch in a field alone, or with other horses (even ones that run away before you get to the gate). Could even catch him when some idiot run over our fence with a 4-wheeler and tore it down.
He was practically sticking his head in the halter.
My husband turned him out with his dads cows (2 Cows, 2 calfs and 1 bull) b/c our fence was down.
was suppost to only be for a hour or 2 until we got our fence back up.
we've been trying to catch him for 6 weeks.
he'll let you get close enough for your fingertips to touch him, but then takes off.
he wont come eat grain, apples, carrots, suggar cubes........horse treats.
we cant just go out there and sit or stand for hours b/c the cows and bull start charging us.
ever time we have chased him into the barn (its 3 sided), he always takes the bull in with him.
have tryed the approch and retreat method, when we retreat he just starts grazing again.
