"My rider has made frequent attempts to try to catch her horse. Each time she walks up to the horse, the horse wants to move right away and in fact, get rather frisky. We're going to try to show what we might be able to do to catch that horse that's become just a little bit disobedient. My rider would make a big wide circle anytime that she thought the horse was going to start up and get active again. Right now, the horse has its head turned to her. Kind of in that submissive, I recognize that you're here to get me. If the rider walks up quietly and slowly towards the horse's head and then puts that secret rope from around her waist around the horse's neck, it looks like we made a clean catch. Now if she can bring this horse over to get the halter and lead rope and precede with her day. It's alway difficult when the horse doesn't want to co-operate right off the bat. So with a few simple tips and making sure you don't chase that horse. Think about them getting submissive when we walk towards the head. And always being ready to outsmart them; not carrying that halter and lead rope sometimes can save the day."
