Question
Hi my name is Nicole and i have a colt that is 4 months old. I am now bringing him through little obstacle courses and using tarps,umbrellas,balls,tide containers with rocks in them and putting things down that he has to walk on. I was just trying to figure out if there was anything more i should do with him to make him less spookish?
           Thank you

Answer
Hi Nicole,

This is a terrific start!  Just make sure he's always in his comfort zone.  If he starts showing signs that he's uncomfortable, back off to something familiar and safe, and then reintroduce slowly.

Keep it nice and steady, keep his trust and you're on your way to a quiet horse.

Good luck!
