Ridecamp: Re: [RC] [RC] Kicking Colt/ Correcting

Heres three suggestions from my daughter,(from various barns she has worked 
with) 1)Wear gloves. clip and lead and lounge line to halter, take off lead 
line off him  ,if he starts to wheel and kick, jerk him up and yell "quit" 
.(not my first choice).2) take treats, give one before you unhalter (so he 
is eating as you do it), then give another , then let him folow you to gate 
and give third as you go out. (eh, maybe) 3)always have them face you stand 
with your gate at back with it slightly open so you can back thru as you 
realease.(I do this with unknown horses.4)take halter off, with rope around 
neck, make them wait, then release slowly.  Laurie and Rascal(who ususally 
just wants to walk to the trough and drink)
