Wanda, I feel like you. The great fun with horses is always learning something new. When my son said something about why was I always taking lessons because I already knew how to ride, my granddaughter said that now I was learning the "subtle stuff" and I thought that was a great comment! Anyway, now I'm having fun teaching little basic things to my donkey. I never had a young equid that wasn't even halter broke before and am finding it fun to teach him stuff. ( We haven't gotten even close to subtle stuff yet!) He thinks the halter is fine and thought a fly mask was fine too, UNTIL I went to take it off! That Velcro ripping noise scared him to death. Ferne
