See if one of your horsey friends can bring some spare electric fencing with them and make the field smaller until you have a small enough space to catch him. nice and gently though so you don't completely freak him out! Hope you get there in the end!:)

Have it sorted...I think. Got her in in record time today having swapped stables around and have picked up some tips for the behaviour whilst being ridden.:D

You have to be consistent to notice a difference, not just seeing what she does when you pull and when you don't pull.
