Re: bringing up baby
For de-sensitizing horses, what I've found very useful is to spend
Saturday and Sunday afternoons lazily walking around in middle-income
subdivisions -- dogs running around barking, kids playing in the yards,
throwing balls in the streets, lawn mowers, bicycles, Hot Wheels,
4-wheelers, laundry flapping in the wind, Mom washing the car in the
driveway, cars driving slowly down the street, you name it -- distractions
galore! but no real danger, like riding alongside busy paved roads. I
refer to these sessions as "mental exercise" and I really think it helps.
