My own no-catch experience was with a re-started mare. We went from more than 45 minutes of running & hiding behind other horses to having her leave the herd in the woods and run up to me to be haltered. Took more than a year of consistent work though, and it was only for me; others still had difficulty. Enjoyed the video, even though the sound was not great in places.
The hardest horse I've ever had to catch is one that ran as soon as he saw anybody and didn't care about feed. Wise to that trick. Turned out on 20 acres. I started with Pressure and release with the 4wheeler, only place for release was barn. Two years later he comes up to me and puts head in halter but has been a long process to get here.
These were easily tricked with food to get into smaller pen, I don't like the idea of tricking with food, but going to an off farm job, working with new horse owners, that really don't understand what I'm doing this was the best way. Hopefully they have me come out again and I can have a follow up video of catching them without food, and in the bigger area.
I can’t believe how arrogant and disrespectful the filmer, who I assume is the owner, is. Talking and not paying attention and ignorant opinions while you are working hard to teach their horses, to give them a good foundation for communication.
I had a new person with me, she met me at the job, (Which I had never done, for a reason) I was not able to tell her please don't talk while I am training, as my clients are paying me a lot of money. I want them to pay attention. I did ask my client if it was ok, as the camera person, lived near her. I was not happy either.
