This message is from: "ruth bushnell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've never understood why easily catching a horse is such a big deal to some folks. (is it a rejection thing? ha ha) A few years ago my instincts were justified when I read that the more intelligent horse doesn't want to be caught... he's saying, "bondage means business and I hate to sweat." Those tips the other gal gave will help--- don't always catch them up first off (and certainly never in a hurry, be nonchalant) and hiding the rope in your shirt helps too. Giving the occasional treat reward along with catching might motivate them too. And..... maybe just catch him, and then let him go! or, catch him to feed him a time or two... keep him guessing =)) I'm sure you'll have improvement with time and handling...... and good luck in your decision.
