[QUOTE="flaboy, post: 552591, member: 1726"] Oh boy, I bet there are as many ways to do this as there are cowboys. Will she lead on a rope at all? If so I would get her used to a cowboy halter first. That is where you have the rope around her neck and then throw a loop through that and around her nose. The nose loop is much easier to get on then a halter is and it will teach her to respect it. Make sure you have a long enough lead rope so that if she bolts you can turn her nose and stop her. I would use at least a 15 foot lead. Another thing I would do first is to teach her to drop her head down. Put your hand on top of her head between her ears and put and keep slight pressure there till she gives the least little amount. As soon as she gives release the pressure right away. Keep this up till you can just lay you hand on her head and she will drop it. This will make a lot of things easier in the future for you. Depending on how wild she is Hoss had some good ideas also. [/QUOTE]
