Can any one offer advice what work a yearling can do ie long reining ect? We have a shetland cross and she goes alot for walks with 3 year old but still insist on jumping low stable door and taking her self out, today it was a morning and afternoon canter around a friends feild which wasnt fun trying to catch her and it cant be good for her! When we tack 3 year old up she gets all exsited and wants ago never had one like it before!

thanks sorry for long post

because she keeps getting out and jumping the stable door ect and walking her out 3 times a wk dosent keep her from going nutty

So she gets no turnout???
 
Surely a properly fenced off field should be able to keep a tootsie wee shetland in ?? lol

What heights are your doors ??

shes 12 hh not normal shetland size lol is turned out 12 hours a day. there just pony size doors, we have post and railed feild and electric fenced but notting stands up 2 her lol. So ant one long reined a yearling?
 
It may well be that you're taking your companion away from her and she's on her own - hence the jumping out??

Either way - if she want's to join you - I'm sure she'll benefit.
 
try putting an anti weave grill or some sort of grill up in the stable door to keep her in i dont think longreining is the answer for a yearling
