Answer
Hi Jayne,
          At her age you want to work on ground manners. Things like leading, loading into a trailer, standing tied. You can also work on ground tying, despooking, making sure she stands well for the farrier and the Vet. Try to turn her out as much as possible to be horse. Since her knees are still closing you do not want to work on anything that would stress them out.
