Horse catching Introducing a horse to turn out A paddock or corral is an ideal place to turn a horse out for the first time or if you have a difficult horse as it’s a small enclosure. Spend as much time as you can with the horse strengthening the bond between you. If the horse approaches you reward it with a stroke and treat. Frequently visit the horse, offering him a little food or a polo along with a gentle stroke. The horse will look forward to you arriving again. If you decide to leave a head collar on a horse in the field to make it easier to catch, use a leather one as this will break if the horse gets caught up. If the horse has been turned out in a large field and you are unable to catch him, the last thing you must do is give up. If you do this then the horse has won and knows exactly what to do next time. You cannot blame a horse for choosing to stay out in the field where he has freedom,company and good grass. Given a choice most horses would prefer to be out side interacting with other horses, than a life confined to a stable or the thought having to go on a hack.
