we usually use a tractor and tie the end of the halter to a tractor boom and pull him slowley and it will take a couple of days possibly weeks and if that dosnt work while someones walking him hot shot him in the but just a slight tap and then let him walk and he may jump and try to run but let him just hold on he will calm down and then try to lead him without the hot shot and if he dosnt do it again he will start to learn that the tractor is stronger then him and that the hot shot hurts him so i should probably walk another possibility is a clip on nose ring one that dosnt go though the nose but clamps on the insides of his nose
