Spook busting

[Leo Walker]

I'm off work at the minute and have spent the afternoon watching Barry Hook videos on You Tube so am now officially an expert :lol: But having taken on board some of the stuff he does, I want to translate it into stuff I can do. The cob is pretty much rock steady, nothing really bothers him, but if hes going to drive in the future then the more weird stuff I do the better.

He has his school permanently set up with all sorts of stuff which isnt practical at a livery yard. I'm going to get a tarpaulin but hes already had one of those chucked all over him previously. He has a curtain of ribbon type stuff, so I thought about buying some rope and some birthday banners and hanging them off that between jump wings. He also has lots of stuff left on the floor like foam roller type things, but I have no idea where you would get foam rollers from?!

I'm planning on long reining him in his harness and blinkers around/through/under it so it will be a bit different to his normal work. Does anyone have any ideas for "spook busting" things I can do?

Try the pound shop. I got some bunting there and all sorts of garden windmills, ornaments and windsocks. You might get foam rollers in sports direct?
I bought a foil ribbon curtain on ebay too.

Good idea Twinkle! My plan was B&M tomorrow to see what I could get. I dont want to spend a lot as he is such a rock steady little guy and this is probably more for me so I can be involved rather than him needing to do it. But I do a lot of ground work/trick training stuff with him so any ideas of things to do together are always welcomed
