An excerpt from "Round Pen First Steps":
What we'll do must be seen as a game, a game that you want to win. Your objective is keep the horse from moving; you lose a point any time he so much as takes a step. What makes the game interesting is that you must show the horse scary objects and get a rise out of him – but in such a manner that he doesn't move away from them. Remember, he takes a step, it costs you a point.
In your mind, take the items you've accumulated and place them in an order, from least scary to most scary. Number one would be a hoof pick, number twenty would be a chain saw. Pick up number one and stand on the opposite side of the pen from your horse with your back turned to him. Turn around, ask him to keep two eyes on you, and "reveal" your least scary object. Ideally, the horse will just stand there, staring. If he does anything more than prick up his ears, find an object that's not so scary and begin again. You'll turn, reveal the object and perhaps whisper "boo." Your horse will take notice, but most likely do nothing. You will then put the object down and walk over to your horse. Pet him and return to the opposite side. (rpt)
