Approach Slowly

When trying to catch a horse, approach slowly and speak to the animal in a quiet voice to alert it to your presence.

Have the bridle or reins in plain sight (draped over your arm) as you approach to let the horse see what you are holding.

Remove your sunglasses so the horse can see your eyes, but avoid making direct eye contact.

  • Predators lock eyes with their prey as they approach.
