So, after about an hour, Ember finally decides to let Chris do her thing. And the halter is on.
The next step will be to hook her up to a line and teach her to turn and follow. That's looking like next weekend.
How does Ember feel about this? Well, sort of OK until the rope touches her legs. Then defiance turns to panic.

We are getting nothing positive from the first approach, so we move to plan B.
So far, so good.
There is a lot of training happening here at the moment. Lots of horses progressing through various stages.
This short thread is about Ember of the Get Stuffed being halter trained.
Here she is refusing to work with Chris at the "being nice" stage.

Its been a day. The wind has been up and the temp down. No one has been impressed.
Vega and Tiny have been face to the wind most of the day, watching the other horses tool about.
Ember was multi tasking. She was watching me and the sunset.
Aaaand wondering where the scratches were.

I have been working with Ember for a couple of months, just quietly building trust.
Today it finally paid off and she discovered scratches.
