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 :)
