Hi Virginia, I wish I had a plan. I've sort of begun to believe that training horses is like raising kids. Ignore the bad, and encourage the good, and allow for as many safe experiences as you can. When to add a noodle? I'm not sure, I guess when the opportunity presents itself and you feel they are ready for a new experience that won't frighten them or shut them down. I'm looking forward to a horsey day today, maybe I'll add two noodles :)... Wanda -- Thoughts become things...
