If I was doing it I would have it wear hobbles for a couple days, then sideline it a day or 2..Then saddle it & tie it's head around with a halter a couple days switching sides every 15-20 minutes & then do the same thing with a snaffle & nose piece. It will learn that it can be restrained without you pickin & poken at it....But hey, why listen to me. Just because I've done it hundreds of times & have plenty of video proof of how my horses act really don't mean much...
