Excellent question. I'm sort of at the same stage with Solon...or at least I was a while ago. I'm just getting back to some tentative training with him. I do need to introduce him to clippers, and I haven't lunged him yet. I'm such a clutz at that, that I've hesitated doing any lunging.. T aking for walks with a saddle....hmm. I did that with him last fall. Perhaps it's time for a refresher. I'll be all ears - I'm looking for ideas too. Wanda -- Thoughts become things...
