Please, PLEASE, dear lord, share any suggestions on catching sneaky hoofdogs.

While Jane is overwhelmingly easy to catch (legit sticks her face in halters), May is a little witch and so athletic she can escape easy.  We've tried bribery, it fails, tried being sneaky... tried EVERYTHING I can think of (including one time chasing her down on two other horses).

We've done similar techniques to the think like a horse stuff.  I swear she's a cat.  Sigh.  But thank Kuw!

A very big cat. lulz

I big bratty cat.
Yesterday I went to see her and she walked right up and let my use a shoelace to catch her.
WHY.

Update:

We have moved a round pen into her pasture.

By feeding her only in the pen and catching her to do the feeding she has coming from over 2 hrs per catch, to 20 minutes (if that).

I still have reservations about the big field, but a combination of food, her sister Jane being people-loving, and the round pen for chasing seems to be working for now!

She lives in a pasture with trees.  So a drag or breakaway is just... risky.

Since this post is over a year old, I hope that you have figured out how to help your girl. When my horses started to get halter shy, because we normally only brought the halters out if we where going to ride. We started to make it to where they had to get them put on before they got fed. It only took a day or two before they caught on. I normally have to start with my old gelding, then my other gelding, then I can catch my older gray mare and the alpha mare is normally last. If I can get my Alpha away, I dont have to worry about the other mare or the other gelding. My old man normally knows what is up and is the first to greet me, halter or not.
