I have a great little baby horse currently who is doing really well showing other than his inability to stand still in classes.

He is fascinated by horses doing their show and has to be watching them, some is natural babyness and nerves, so I was thinking of using Nupafeed to take the edge of him....

Other than just bore him to tears with the whole showing thing until he learns to stand still does anyone else have any tips????

He does a nice show, and by third class he is generally getting the hang of it but just has ANTS IN HIS PANTS!!!
 
I tend to use the pocket full of Polos trick, when he has stood still for a little while slip him a polo, repeat every 5 minutes of being stood still. Mine got the hang of it eventually
