Catching wild horses

Catching wild horses
Ok son, today I am going to teach you how to catch wild horses.
I have found the perfect place to keep them.
We want to start by placing some feed out in the open to bring them in.
It will take a while, but they will get used to coming, so be patient.
After a few weeks, we will put up a fence on the South end.
They might find this fence a little strange at first,
but this free grain will help them get over their fear quickly.
In a couple more weeks, we will add another fence on the west end.
Don’t worry son, their skittishness will ware off quickly.
Next we will put up a fence on the east end…
and in a couple more weeks, we will put up a gated fence to the north.
Being closed in will more than likely make them really nervous,
so we will have to give them some better feed so they will come on in.
Once the whole heard is inside, we slam the gate shut, and the horses will be ours.
At first, they are going to be a bit ornery, they are not used to being trapped.
Don’t worry though, eventually, they will get used to it.
As their natural instincts to find their own food wears off,
they will become calmer, and we can start training them.
Once we can get in there and brand them, they will belong to us…
So you ready to get started?

“Yes Pa”

Ok, go on into the barn and get me a bag of feed…
Bring me one of the ones that say “welfare” on it.
