[QUOTE="Colorado2008, post: 293601, member: 4094"] All of the above work great. I have used all those methods before. In your situtation heres what I would do. She needs reassurance that you are not going to hurt her, let her settle down. Run her into a head catch and halter her. Wash her while in the head catch. Start at the feet and work you way up so she gets used to the water. Dry her in there as well. (it might be a little tricky to dry in there, but i have done it before) Then take the halter off and let her out. repeat this a few times. After a few times of that, instead of washing, let her out of the head catch w/ the halter on. Try to go straight forward to a post or something. Tie her about shoulder high (her shoulder), this will prevent her from jumping up and getting caught in something. Then rub her all over, or brush her all over. Leave her tied up for a while, but never let her out of your sight. Untie her and let her go. I do not recommend leaving the halter on when you are not working simply because when she has a halter on, it should mean that it is time to work. Repeat this and each day walk a little further to tie her up. Soon you will be able to wash, dry, and walk her with no problem.!!!! Hope this helps Colorado :D [/QUOTE]
