Have never done it but she might be a bit strong now
You could try tieing her halter to something wall crush etc. and when she is used to that try getting her to walk after you for a bucket of nuts or bottle of milk on a nipple while on a halter

we normally tie them up in crush for about an hour a day then after a few days maybe take her out for a little walk - always let her know that you are boss and dont let her put her head down . maybe give her a wash to let her get used to being rubbed have a secure area where if she does get loose she cant go anywhere good luck , it takes alot of time
