I definitely want to learn more about these neck ropes 

Here in central Texas we cry when it gets below 50. Weve had some really cold weather lately low 30s and 20s. I just layer up and wear my chinks. And gloves! My hands suffer the most. I personally like cooler weather I'm definitely the minority though where I am. I just ride in my little pen at home or I'll haul to the church arena if I need to. Sometimes just ride down the road to the hay pastues and ride around for a while.  

Richard Boatwright it's going quite well. I do not have a round pen yet. Itll be delivered in about 2 more weeks. Ive separated them into their own pens next to one another.  Because they are double trouble lol it's just easier for me to work on 1 at a time. The dun is the instigator. They are leading great. Been picking feet up and still trying to get them use to being touched all over. When i go in to catch the the dun he runs from me but one thing I noticed if I just stay still and wait a minute he comes right up to me and I can halter him. The other he just waits for me to get him no running away. I go out and catch and mess with at least 2 to 3 times a day.  No idea of im doing right but it's getting less dramatic each time.  They are getting use to me and our routine. 

Stephen Gowling they are doing great! Had a few days of trouble with the roan quit eating and starting looking poor. We figured he was dealing with ulcers just from how he was looking. A few doses of ulcerguard and he's back on track. They are both mostly halter broke enough now and both lead decently.  Despite his little setback, he's gotten more handling with us having to syringe the meds into him and take temps. I'm pleased with how they are both coming along. 

Richard BoatwrightBoatwright i will share their papers. Originally I was only purchasing the buckskin but when we got there my husband decided to take the little bay roan home too. We got them haltered yesterday afternoon. They are doing OK! I was able to catch them this morning pretty easy. The roan is definitely more standoffish than my buckskin. But I was able to catch him and rub on him some this morning before I fed them. I'll be honest I've never had any be so scared of being touched like this so I'm learning as I go. My buckskin is naturally more into human interaction he walked right up to me when we went to pick them up. He wanted to be rubbed on from the start. 

Richard Boatwright i accidentally ended up picking up 2 colts 🤡

Great! Thank you. I'm mostly wondering what my first steps should be after we get him home. It's a pretty long trip so I figured a few days or more to let him settle in to the new environment, get familiar with my other horses he will be in a large pen next to one of our more tolerant passive mares. As far as I know he's not  halter broke yet. So should I halter him with a short lead rope and let him be in his run and stall it opens into? It's a safe place nothing he can get caught up on. Never started from scratch like this before. All my other horses were bought finished or nearly finished.
