Review

  • 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.
