Your horse hard to Catch? Training Tip from Dennis Brouse with Saddle Up

[blondemule]

I would like to see a horse that is actually hard to catch. Like mine!

[gcoxalaska]

Did anybody learn anything here?

[MissModernwarfare]

Works for me! Just tried it on my horse and she never come to me in her paddock

[hyperfocus2011]

you dont use food to gain respect....no treat...no horse...duh

[1997cowgirlsdontcry]

ok so one of my horses, misty, doesnt like to see the lead rope because she knows she will be have to be tacked. i tried this on her and now shes can just walk up to me instead of me getting oats just to get her. Thanks Dennis!

[LadyHawk2557]

I am going to try this on my horse tomorrow, My horse always runs away from me when she see's me come into the pasture I have to have a treat for her to come to me. But I will try this tomorrow! Wish me luck!

[BarrelRacer955]

Im going to try this with my horse tommorrow. She is fine quiet and sweet once she is caught. but catching her is the trick.

Everytime I step out of the barn with a halter he runs the other way or gets to were I can touch him with one hand but as soon as I bring the halter up he runs away,

[hayleyclarke]

yea I think my horse is to smart for his own good, I tried this.and when ever I "backed off" he would continue to turn away and walk away.then when I approach he RUNS away... I don't get it...he used to come when he was called.nothing has changed, I just don't get this sudden change in personality. I'm getting close to wanting to lasso him, just to catch him.

[RodeoHorsey]

how big is that round pen?

[windspeaker114]

My mare has to be hugged before she lets you touch her halter, but she won't let me come near her. I have tried a join up with her. it worked, but when she was in the field she didn't go anywhere near me again. I just bought her not to long ago and I need her to come when i call her so i don't have to take hours just to try to catch her every time i get her.

THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS WORKed!

[sweetriddle101]

I am going to try that on the horse I lease. Both the ownerand I have issues catching him. Usually we have to remove al of the horses from the pasture just to catch him. Tried for an hour when the farrier came, couldnt catch him so he didnt get his feet done. I also come very close to getting kicked by him trying to catch him. Last week I wasnt able to catch him to ride, so I ended up riding another horse.

@sweetriddle101 Bad news to read this. Now I won't say I'm a pro I'll just say whay I know from experience. I have 4 horses in the countryside in Spain, Europe. Been around horses all my life and now 44yro. Si it's all about patience, don't go up to him showing how you really need to catch him, he senses that. Go even when you don't need to, stay close, pet him and walk off. Use treats, find out which side is easier, some freeze when you touch a foreleg, others its something else.

[akanewe]

@sweetriddle101 When you sense he's about to move off you back off first, look away, walk sideways towards him, find a way not to look like a hunter after him. Keep at it with patience. The join up in a pen is very good cos he will follow you like a little dog in that pen. A light, strong, thin rope in your pocket is easier to carry than the halter, you can put it around his neck and take him to where you have the halter. All this i've done, I'm not a pro, just be patient and willing!good luck.

i'm planning on getting a horse of my own in the near future, so this will come in handy. thanks!
