@horseproblems Huh? No, my horse is not ear shy. Maybe you responded under wrong person's comment.
I can put my fingers way down into my horse's ear with Dermafas cream and rub SWAT all over them inside and outside. We had sore ears develop before from bugs, which made him temporarily ear shy. We have no problems putting on head gear.
I used clicker training methods for most part and still what I'm using.
you should check out his teeth first to see if that is the problem. i dont belive in restraints what so ever my horse had the same problem and i stood in front of him and held the nit by the sides and the halter by the sides and he took it fine, then i fugured out that he had a chipped tooth and i got it pulled and he took the bit like a normal horse. so check out his teeth. also if u use leg restraints u have to KEEP using them u cant stop or they will go right back to their original problems.

@honeywillbemine Hi Honey. You can be assured I check not only teeth but everything involving Problem Horses. That is my Life. I look inside their Minds as well. That is why I have just confirmed that 3 out of the 4 current Horses I am working on, are unsound. Best of Luck

@dappledbaybeauty Place your hand lightly on the forehead and briskly rub it up and over/across the ears and into the ear behind before the horse can react badly. Repeat many times and build upon it. As you see progression, slow the hand down, equal to the progress but not less. Timing, feel and savvy. regards

Find it interesting that Pat Parelli seems to have gone to a restraint method on a stallion he did a demo on in UK. The horse was very bridle and head shy. His usual style wasn't working and they brought out a restraint method to continue. I can only guess he switched tactics because in right hands it does indeed work and is faster method. He had a demo to finish in a time frame. If you look up "Catwalk" and Parelli, then lots of discussion on this topic.

Meg. I bet Pat wished he had one of my front leg straps right then :) His problem is one of marketing and perceptions. He fashioned his entire system on NH which I have promoted extensively but as I always said, NH cannot fix such Horses and obviously Pat knows this too. If he knew how to use the right equipment, it would have taken 10 minutes. At least this brings balance to the Horse Industry. Regards
