: This is what I always did. Put up the
: barrier, walk horse toward it, have someone
: release the barrier just before he got to
: it. Spend some days doing that and letting
: him get closer to it each time before it is
: pulled. Keep doing it until he stops any
: jumping from it. Then load some calves and
: run them and have someone release the
: barrier before he gets to it. keep doing
: that until he gets close enough to it that
: his chest swings the barrier out of the way.
: Once he gets use to it, just tie the
: barrier with a very light string that almost
: breaks by pulling it when you hook it up and
: let him run through it. Then your on your
: way. Most important, don't be in a big
: hurry getting him use to it, so he don't
: start some bad habits.
