- Have
the halter ready to place on the horse as you approach.
- Speak in a quiet voice. Approach slowly toward the
left shoulder and remain in the safe zone while near the horse.
- Loop the halter rope around the horse's neck at
the base of the skull to help control movement.
- Always maintain three points of contact and keep
your face back from the horse's head.
- Remember, some horses shy away from people working
around their faces.
