Here's where I have an advantage. My first equine was my donkey, who combines all of the above with the fun of playing "Keep Away" with any tool or project parts that she can lay lips on. I learned early on the value of gates, halters, and food. Changes to her or the Fjords' environments happen while they are busy with their breakfasts, or put out to pasture, or caught and tied up for some "patience training". It really is quicker (and safer) to work on projects without "helpers"!
