Hello, I just joined. I'm loving these videos so far. I'm from NE Indiana and just purchased a Pitzer-bred weanling. I've had other weanlings before and we used them for trail riding. I would like to do more work with Bristol (filly) in the ranch-type classes and work.

So far, I brush and pick up her feet and pick them out each day. She is doing really well with this. She has had one trim and did okay. Kinda of wiggly but she is only 7 months old. She will yield her hindquarters by stepping over about three steps. She backs up. We are working on the trailer loading and accepting clippers. She will pony off my trail horse. I've also taken her for a walk in the woods by herself.

My question is about how much "training" How much time should I do with her each day?

I attached a picture of her playing in the round pen. She is a bit dirty because of course she rolled.
