About This Video

In this video I’m walking you through how I teach a horse to “self-halter” using positive reinforcement (+R) / clicker training. The goal is simple: instead of me chasing a horse around with a halter (or wrestling with a head-shy moment), I teach the horse that putting their nose into the halter is their idea—and it pays. I’m showing the process in a really practical, barn-friendly way so you can start with whatever level of comfort your horse has and build confidence from there. I’m also working with Danny, who’s a rescue and has some trust stuff, so the big takeaway is that this isn’t about forcing a timeline. I’m focusing on patience, clean repetition, and making the halter itself feel predictable and safe. If your horse has a history that makes haltering stressful, this is exactly the kind of skill that can change the whole daily routine—because you’re not just “getting the halter on,” you’re rebuilding consent and clarity one tiny step at a time.
