I am wanting suggestions. I have 4 babies that have not been handled. They come to the barn and are fed. They have seen people, but have not been handled. When you put them in a stall and corner them they go crazy. Anyway I need to halter break them and they are ready to be weaned. I got the weaning thing, but the hands on thing I am not sure about. Should I just get a halter on them and start walking, or should I try to build trust or what? I had a coggins pulled on one the other day and it rared and went all to pieces when we got the halter on it. Usually I start handling them at a month or before, but this year my situation has been where I was not able. Look forward to hearing your comments.
