Feed lots of treats. My mom carries them around in her pockets when she is around my horses, they follow her like a dog.
He will come up for treats and be touched. But be a little too touchy or try to catch him and he's gone. Today I gave him treats with a halter in my hand while he was in the pasture, but then he figured it was best to steer clear!! The other horses loved it. ..lol
He is in a 100 acre pasture, but comes up for feedings ect. That's when I can pen him in and them catch him with a small degree of difficulty.
If you can catch him, put him in a smaller area. Catch him and once his halter is on, then he gets a treat. He will soon associate the halter going on with a treat. Don't work him each time, sometimes I just catch mine and bring them out to graze on the hayfield while being brushed or massaged, then turned out again. It has worked with a couple of my hard to catch horses. My horses or my dogs never get a hand fed treat without doing something to earn it.
