Thanks Shego. She's a Haflinger. I had her since she was weaned. She just turned 6 years old and she's been sold to a farm where she will be loved and she will be helping kids learn how to ride and care for horses.

yea wait til you see me doing that,i've tred it couple o times but i allways have another person as i know you supposedto have one hand on the horses head i tend to let go and work with the head coller withbot hands-thats why i never do it on my own or you wouldnt have any horses as they'dve all run away

Maybe you could post a video and I could offer you some help. I'm not clear on what your letting go of? Using this technique correctly, your horse will never have the chance to get away from you.

your supposed to have your right hand on the horses head i usally start like that then i let go of their head i work with it(the head collar or halter as you call it )

When putting a bridle on you would place your hand over the nose, but when putting a halter on, the first step is to hold onto the halter around their neck, step two is to lower the halter down below their nose; they'll put their nose right into the halter and then you buckle it behind their ears.
