Also what if you put a horse ball or toys out there? It might be a little something to mentally stimulate the little one as well as the older gelding. You could also pony the youngster off of the older one on trails and such to get light exercise on the older horse and let the youngster gain confidence on the trail with a trusty solid horse to look to when he is nervous.
Old guy won't play with toys, but baby does. I will have to get him a new one since he broke the one I had. And I love the idea of ponying him. Thanks!

That's GREAT! You don't want to introduce too much but if he is handling it just fine, go for it! You just have to read him because every horse is different.
If you've run out of ideas, just keep doing the same thing with him. Get him to where he will spin on his haunches. Get him where he will stop on a dime and spin around with the point of a finger. Strive for perfection but understand that it is okay not to achieve so.
He's pretty smart and super fast learning. He gets bored easy. Left brain extrovert, if you know Parelli horsenality type stuff. I am working on perfecting what we have, but he needs new stuff to keep his brain engaged. |
