I have recently become the new owner of a terrific Arabian. Sunny rides 
great -- BIG, floating trot. Lots of stamina. Will make an incredible 
endurance horse, I think. The only problem is that it takes me a loooooong 
time to catch him.

Well, he is new so you need to bond with him more...so he will want to be 
caught.  I take a chair into th pasture and read, or have lunch with my 
horse.  I also don't always catch him to go riding, sometimes it is to be 
groomed, or hand walked to get grass...I mix it up.  I also "whistle" a 
certain way for him to come.  I do NOT chase him, he comes to me, puts his 
head in the halter and comes quitley...and he is 4 yrs and I have been 
working with him for 5 months.
