[QUOTE="2barmcattle, post: 694203, member: 7267"] We start ours by adding 10' or so to a rope halter and just gradually trying to get close to them. Have a show stick or sorting stick in your hand and start rubbing them with it gradually trying to get closer and closer for around 15 min and give them the rest of the day off. Start agaiin the next day and you will be able to get closer. I find that this method gets them a litlle less timid of me before I start putting on more pressure. Then I let them drag a halter for several days while walking them more and more each day. Tieing is next....by this time they are walking several steps without pulling too hard. A few sessions of being tied from 15 minutes to start and gradually working up to several hours over the next week and they are pretty well done. [/QUOTE]
