How do we get Donovan to stand still in a line up in showing!?!?
He does all of his walking and trotting just fine, but as soon as they are waiting in line he fidgets!
If he is in between 2 others he will stand still but if he is at the end of the line he keeps moving, sideways, backwards, every way!
 
practice at home initially with someone on foot next to you, either in a field or school, possibly get someone to ride round etc
possibly try distracting him by having pony nuts in your pocket
 
We have tried with the pony nuts in pocket but he just keeps nuzzling our pockets which I think looks worse than fidgeting!!!
He stands quite nicely for the judge, its just when we are waiting while the others do their showing.
