Winter had lived for a number of years out on pasture without being caught. She remained curious of humans, but wary of their intentions, especially when it came to anyone handling her in a way that wasn’t on her terms. We were able to get a breakaway halter on Winter before she exited the trailer at SAFE, but it was clear that it would take patience and time before she was ready to let just anyone catch her. But day by day she grew more accustomed to pets on the face, and being ‘caught’ over the breakaway. It wasn’t too long before the breakaway could come off entirely and she was allowing herself to be haltered. Just in time to make the move to a new paddock!
