I am getting a 9 month old mini mare. She is extremely people friendly as she was well imprinted from birth. She was weaned at 4 months. my question is what is the best way to start with her to get her used to everything. She has worn a halter and actually won a ribbon at her first fair showing. I know I have to go slow but just need a place to start because I know I can't do too much with her being so young. I have ordered a book by John Lyons on Bringing up baby. How long should her training sessions be? Are pine shavings ok for her stall? I guess I need to know what groundwork to start at and how many times a week should I work with her? I have read only 5-10 minutes at a time and always end on a good note. Thanks in advance for the help!
