You walk it like any old horse! if he likes to pull you when you handle him, you might want to consider putting a chain over his nose. Don't over use the chain because he will become numb to it. Also, you should wear steel-toed boots when handling him because depending on his height and condition he could be close to 2,000 lbs. I hope this was helpful!!
