Ridecamp: Re: [RC] teenage horse thing

Best thing to is NOT to go catch them. Take a little time and teach your
horse to come to YOU on command.  Saves a lot of legwork and
frustration. Both of my horses come on command and drop their head into
the halter. I've called Sunny out of a herd of 30+ horses. 

It's not difficult, just takes time....This is "basically" the technique
I use....with some additions and refinements! :)
