Try backing him into a fence. We taught our lambs to brace by backing them up into a fence, they learned real quick to brace against you in anticipation of hitting a fence. It takes some practice, and you have to back them hard and fast, and have them hit the fence. They will soon brace against you to stop from hitting the fence.

I stand them up on their back legs as far back as they can go. Hold them by their heads and push them back. They wont want to fall backwards so they will push fowards. Then, slide them down your leg into a brace. They sure will brace hard!!
