Question
I just got a yearling bout a week ago and i have NO clue what to do with her or what i need to do. I walk her around a lot and she aint scared of nothing. but i don't know if i need to start loading her in the trailer or what. Please help me!!!!

Answer
Hi Cody,
          Do lots of ground work.
You can teach her how to load. How to stand for the Vet and Farrier. This is a good time to teach her how to be tied. Teach her social skills. Make an obstacle course and walk her over it. Use this time to bond with her. You can groom her or just walk her the way you are doing. Teach her to stand for fly spray. Make sure tht you can clip her easily. Can you touch her all over? If you can not then work on that. You can use this time to make sure that she is perfect on the ground.
