Understand where you’re at, altho don’t always think about this at the time!
one of our fillies had never been to an outing (various reasons, time / commitment stuff), and when I started leading her out from her mother (who’d shown all over the country), we went towards a ‘sanctuary’, with about 40 horses grazing - and she could not believe her little eyes! Stood and stared, and stared -
“Mum, there’s hundreds of us!”
Maybe 15 minutes later, persuaded to move on.
I think if you can get youngsters out to some sort of party, it’s generally a good idea.
