Two posts in one day because I forgot to post yesterday. Today was a lot of the rinse repeat rinse. Repeat with the catching game. Tested my patience pretty good because he has had nothing to do with the feed or me touching him. So I arranged the gates and ran him in the round pen. If he turned his hind end toward me in the round pen, he got a spanking. That only took a couple times before he realized it was a whole lot easier to do this with his head facing me. And because he’s food motivated, I started rewarding his good behavior. We finally got to the point where I could walk up to him, catching and bend his head around, and put a halter on. I repeated this for about an hour.
