: I guess you were saying I am afraid of stallions? Not at all I just happen to have a mare. No difference to me I know there is no difference in gelding and mare.
: I was thinking maybe some one here could talk about it I don't want to buy a video or book.
: Thanks for your reply. Ken
Hi Ken - I don't know where that earlier reply came from - not from me, I assure you.
Patience and short sessions are my key for success with halter showing - oftentimes if you can back the critter up a step or two, then bring them forward they will line up well. The hardest thing (I think) is to have them do it consistently and hold it for any length of time - it's not a real comfortable position for them, not painful, but not comfortable either. Practice makes perfect. Good luck.
