[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1509114, member: 968"] Grit - put a halter on, let them drag it for few days, while you hand feed them to get them used to being close. Put in small pen. I tie an extra lead to the end of their halter. Let them walk/run around the pen with you holding onto the rope. I use a show stick to turn them. Try to get them to only go to the left so the rope doesn't get wrapped around them. He/she will finally stop. I use the show stick to "touch" them/scratch them. When they settle down, just put slight pressure "asking" them to take a step. As soon as they step, release pressure. Kinda like lunging a horse. I am not strong enough to hold onto one if they want to run, but in a small pen, you don't have to stop them. Just let them wear themselves out. You might get a little dizzy - LOL [/QUOTE]
