I have a stud colt that is 15 months old. He was born and raised here with us and has had daily interaction with us. He is beginning his stallion-like behaviors now such as nipping and being hard to handle but our biggest problem with him is trying to catch and halter him. He has gotten to where he won't just let us slip a rope over his head anymore so we have had to rope him twice. This is quite an ordeal for him and us because he rares up and paws at us until he wears himself out.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might help us out here?
