What if my horse doesn't like to be caught? If a horse doesn't like to be caught, the worst thing you can do is catch it. You want to have quality time with your horse. The first step is to walk to the horse bodly. As you walk, keep your halter in front of you and in the horse's sight. If the horse walks away, it's ok. Then twirl your rope toward the horse and chase it off. Next go to the center of the horse's circle. Some horses will pace up and down the railing, when this happens try to make the horse pace around you. Just let the horse run around you until he notices you. Once the horse has notice you it will curve its body to the inside of the circle. The point of the horse moving around is to allow it to learn and pay attention to you.
Once your horse has let off some steam, step in front of the horse at the halfway mark of the circle. Make sure you have enough space between you and the horse. As the horse is coming around, he will be pointed straight in front of you. Once he is walk slowly backwards, this encourages the horse to come to you. If he doesn't come forward the first time, then repeat the process. Itr make take a couple of days but eventually it shall work.

I can understand not wanting to be caught, if I were a horse. Do you remember out at your grandma's when the horse jumped the fence and scared me to death?
Will the horse just naturally start to circle you? Is there an age it needs to be before you start catching it?
Yes i do shelby but you are alive still today.
There is no age, it depends on the owner.
