Depends on the horse really. You can try a bucket of grain, an apple or carrot. Any treat really.
If your horse is hard to catch though I'd suggest a little round pen exercise. Horses are generally hard to catch when they think it's a game or have issues being ridden. They find it highly entertaining to watch the funny human try t out run them.
Anyway, if you have a round pen, catch your horse and bring him to the center of the ring. Practice taking the halter on and off. If he goes to run away to be difficult (and they will) instead of chasing him/her around start free-lunging him. Wait until he asks to be let in. (inside ear focused on you, chewing movements with mouth.) Then let him come in by changing your posture from aggressive to passive. Try to put the halter on now, and if he/she runs off then repeat the previous exercise.
This is similar to what a adult horse ould teach a younger horse 'that this is not acceptable behavior'. The herd is protection and safety to a horse and when another horse drives out a younger one he/she is basically telling the misbehaving youth 'you can come back when you can behave'. The horse that was driven out will signal he's ready t behave by his ears and the chewing movements. This was discovered by Monty Roberts and it works from any age of horse

Always use a halter as it will give you the most control. Also if the horse is loose and in a herd never carry any feed of any kind into the paddock or pasture with you as you may be mugged by the other horses and wind up getting trampled.Once you have the horse it would be a good idea to work on it's 're-call' training.

Should you keep a halter on your horse while turned out?
No, you should not. The horse can get caught of something in the pasture or pen, and also if the halter is too tight it can rub bare spots on the horses face, and if left on too long and too tight it the skin can start to grow over the halter. If the horse is hard too catch, you need to practice catching the horse so it wouldn't be a problem, however the halter should not be kept on the horse loose on pasture.

You can use a lead rope or any other rope that is easy to hide behind you. You just take the rope and loop it around the horse's neck and tug on the rope and the horse should follow. Note: Don't try to choke the horse. It may wind up hurting both of you.
What is a halter used for?
Well when the horse was a baby you should have kept a halter on a few days after he was born to get used to it. If you did not do that than you can get a halter and put it on loose so that it is not hurting him/her but tight enough so they cant rip it off. when the horse gets used to that then you can clip a lead rope to his halter and ask for a walk and it will take time but if the horse is still a baby it will take less time then a matured horse
If a horse is loose without his halter what is the best item to use to catch him?
When my horse gets loose I get a bucket of grain (or special food he really likes) and show it to him. This allows me to get close enough to get his halter on. Just the lead rope around his neck is enough to lead my horse. Some horses might need the halter on. If your horse is loose without his halter I presume you're away from his paddock or stable yard and buckets of his favourite food aren't easily to hand. Probably the only item you'll have handy will be some horsenuts or a carrot in your pocket, and a rope, if you're lucky. If he can be approached safely, do so, offering treats if you have them, which you should, and calm him as much as possible before trying to restrain him. If you have no rope and he's really calm you can gently lead him by his mane and neck. It's dangerous to just rush up and try to rope or grab him, and if he's panicky it's highly dangerous to be near him at all. Go back to the stable and get help.

Should you tie a horse to a post tight or not?
Don't. If the horse spooks, the lead rope will not come loose. Many horses will then rear when they find that they can't escape. Often, the halter will break, but if not, your horse will be seriously hurt. Always use a slip knot to tie your horse, or if you have to, use a break away halter. Also, never leave your horse alone while tied.
