Catching a horse who hasn’t been handled, I have a new gelding who has been sitting for 2 years without being touched. He was only caught to get his feet done but he really is stressed about being caught. Any ideas? I tried sitting with him, he will come and sniff me, take treats out of my hand but then runs away if I try to touch him, or getting the halter around him. Once you catch him he is SO sweet. Just the initial human interaction is lacking. Any advice??
