[QUOTE="txag, post: 62413, member: 8"] atv's can be used to walk them after they're broken, but i wouldn't use one to break him. if you want to tie him to something, i'd choose a donkey or a tractor before an atv. on the other hand, that's certainly not my preferred method to halter-break. since you already have him walking (somewhat) my suggestion would be to add another lead rope or halter. i prefer the nylon braided halters (which i never leave on the calf) & will put the second one on backwards with the lead coming off the opposite side. then have someone else help you walk him with one of you on each side of him. that way he can't use the old "jerk the head away & run" method. the main thing is to not let them get away. also, when you're done, you walk away from it instead of letting it run away from you. always make it think you [i]let[/i] it go & not that it got away.
