But you cannot fight them to do something, if you try to force them into something with brute force you are in for a major disappointment, because they are strong as a moose and most will react fairly violently (ie running you over). <br /><br />I would suggest getting him on the leadrope and just leaving slack in it until he comes to you, love up on him as soon as he does, itch the good spots, tell him he's beeootifuul, and you'll have a friend for life. Then just walk him around with you, take him to Richard's with the other horses once he's weaned and let him watch, just make sure that he learns that with you and working is where he is going to have the most fun.<br /><br />Once he figures out that your his friend and your not going to let anything hurt him you could probably lead him through a burning barn with out a fuss.<br /><br />Quarters are a totally different critter than arabs, and while they're both extremely intelligent, quarters need a few minutes to ponder things especially when they are first handled. <br /><br />I would just put an empty wormer tube in a bucket next time you have one handy and let him sniff it and play with it for a little while. Then rub it on his body and make it a game to put it near his mouth and then pull it away before he can touch it, he'll be begging for get wormer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-81943207831235879642009-10-06T07:51:51.265-07:002009-10-06T07:51:51.265-07:00He looks like his beautiful mother and Grandmother...He looks like his beautiful mother and Grandmother!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-54930504362599482482009-10-06T05:52:57.919-07:002009-10-06T05:52:57.919-07:00I totally agree with Cheri and most of the time it...I totally agree with Cheri and most of the time it will be a pleasant surprise not a negative one. :D Got to love them!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13830747233075150737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-81681673851818750392009-10-06T05:46:36.554-07:002009-10-06T05:46:36.554-07:00Doc sounds pretty logical.
