One of the very best things you could do with a young horse to get him
used to a lot of things is to use him as a dude string rental guide.
How do you think Pat and Donna Fitzgerald kept all their horses
in shape.....mb
Having just come back from 5 days at Mammoth where we got stuck behind some
dude strings here and there (and our horses did fine).....I can't believe how
incredibly SLOW the dude string horses walk! I guess if this is good
training, our two rookie horses are now trained <g>. We actually
picked up two dude horses that were lost and helped them find their group again
(hellloooo, use your legs and make that horse walk out a bit!). I'm
guessing the leader of that particular string of horses got fired :)

it)
