As you come out of the crossties, there is a bench and two trash cans to pass as you make your way out of the barn. I usually have my long whip and bag with longeline, side reins and helmet sitting on the bench, and when I go to pick it up, the horses always want to snoop in the trash!
and yesterday, in that trash lurked a terror of many horses:
So we took 5 minutes or so, and Tesla was curious about it and touched it with her nose and I crinkled it and she got treats. I've used wrapped peppermints in the past to help with desensitizing to the crinkle sound, so crinkle = snack! But a little refresher course is never a bad idea :)
Finding lessons in the trash-heap, that's how we roll :D
That works for me too. :)
