Re: [RC] Stupid Question - Yearling and Bug Spray - sharp penny


Now...if I

*only* had a round
pen!




 You don't need a round pen. Just use a rope halter with
knots on the nose and a 12' leadline. Use your spray bottle
with water and start spraying the air next to the horse. If
he tries to leave town keep his head and eyes facing you
and go with him continueing to spray. He can't out run you
and get away if he is facing you with two eyes. When he
tries to turn his head away from you get it back on you
with short hard bumps. This is why I like the rope halter
with knots on the nose piece, it gets their attention
quicker than a flat web type halter and they won't lean on
it the way they tend to do with web halters. It won't take
long before he realizes that running is just too much work
and the only way to make the spraying stop is by standing
still. It's VERY important that you don't stop spraying
until two things happen; one his feet are still and two he
relaxes. It helps if it is a hot day, the mist of water
will feel good to him. :) Then when he is comfortable with
spraying the air work on spraying his body starting with
his side, then his neck, legs and lastly his face.

Regards,
Penny
