both yearlings just over 1 yo, what to do next anything fun?

They both walk and trot in hand go on regular walks on the road.
Both had rugs on and numnahs
Both back up when asked and lead well.
both stand at the gate and come to call at night I point to the stables and say "bed" and they go into the right stables without headcollars. 90% of the time.
Both are fine to tie up groom pick out feed
Both are reasonably good for farrier but have off days. mainly shettie
Both let you sit with them when led down.
one doesnt like to stand still when tied up only after his feed he will stand then falls asleep half way through grooming.
Have not done massive amounts of desensatizing walked over tarps a few times both not to bad.

So what shall i do next and keep working on for the next year?
 
You've done pretty much everything that I did with my youngsters, except I did lead them over jump poles on the ground. I honestly think that taking them for a potter down a safe road at the weekend and twice daily checks is fine for a yearling, they are still young after all. :)
 
Al just carry on then , do need to get them less spooky though scared of all these invisible monsters in the wind
