Chris, I think we're on the same page regarding
desensitizing / sacking out a horse. ;)
From my old post ...
"The intent should be to demonstrate that the
object is harmless to the horse, not generate fear and flight."
"Patience, patience, and
more patience is required. Besides desensitizing the horse, you're also building
a trust relationship so when you tell the horse later that some object or
obstacle is safe, he'll believe you."
