Is that colt halter broke yet? If he is, I’d put a halter an lead on him too, then if he runs up on you or gives you any flack you can make him regret it by jerking that lead rope back and forth. And 2 months old is definately old enough for him to be halter broke. I did that to Goose when he’d get sassy and he’s very respectful on a lead line now.
I enjoyed the pictures and the tale:) Nice lunch break.
No he is not halter broke that I know of. Him and his mother belong to an older couple , 70’s, and they are for nothing but patting:\. Even the mare doesn’t have a lot of manners, IMO. Kind of crowds on the lead line, and either drags behind or drags forward. Luckily the distance I have to go with them is not far, and 1/2 of the distance is up the alley way of the barn. I stayed close to one side in the barn so the foal had to walk on the other side of the mare that I was on. When we got to the round pen, he hesitated at the gate, and looked like he might go exploring, but I moved momma further in and he came right one. I have a few pictures I’ll post in a bit. But I had trouble getting his whole body, because they were crowding up to the fence to see what I was doing...I was running back and forth on the outside trying to get them from a distance:)
