Liz Cohen with Trigo - within a few weeks of adoption.
But DON'T DO THIS RIGHT AWAY! There's no substitute for spending time with your new wild horse. Going in and out of the pen while doing daily chores, leisure time spent reading a book in a lawn chair next to the horse pen, just hanging out. S/he will learn to recognize you as someone who is not a threat. 
But perhaps even more important, you will get to know your horse on a deep level - how he reacts, how he thinks, how he lives his life and how he is likely to react to a variety of situations. You will learn to trust him, and to trust yourself with him!  
Going about daily chores of cleaning pens, delivering feed, etc., and just leisurely "hanging out" helps the horse feel safe and comfortable around people.
Be careful, though! Just because the horse has approached you does not mean that he is tame or safe to be near!  since 4-28-2006
