6 yr old gelding, snaffle bit trained, gentle, kind, willing, has been started on heading and heeling, has drug some calves and loaded trucks, no buck, no kick. Seems to have a fear of young calves, he does not buck, he just wants to leave. I have tried different things to help. I have had no success. I would appreciate some advice. Thank you in advance.Â
Commented on Gelding with a baby calf phobia

Yes sir. Getting better, calving fall cows now. Just taking him to the pasture and letting him walk among them. Also, since I'm not a good hand, I have tried leading him up to a baby calf that is lying down and letting him get as close as he wants. I'm trying to check my ego at the door and help him the best way I know.Â
