Hi All,
I figured I'd post my questios here since my guy is a long ear(sort of) and maybe you can help me. I adopted a pony mule from a local rescue this past week. He's very sweet and kind just needs some ground manners. The one thing I'm having trouble with is putting his halter on. He absolutely hates it. Once it's on he's fine but getting it there is near to impossible. Out in the field he can be a bit hand shy but once you touch him he loves to be patted. Any suggestions as to how I can get the halter on without a major battle? I've tried holding a treat in the nose band part so he'd go for it while I slipped it over his head but no go. I'm at a loss with this guy and don't want to keep fighting with him.
Thanks.
