The Haunted Horse Arena

The haunted horse arena was my sister’s idea as a 4h horse project event. It was a Halloween themed desensitizing obstacle course. The swim noodles rub against the horses sides. Looking very scary, a lot of horses won’t push through them the first time you ask them. The barrels with the poles on them help the horse go through narrow spaces. The banner and plastic bags overhead help the horses get used to stuff above them. The tarp is to get the horse used to walking over a scary thing that crinkles and moves. The banner on the ground gets the horse comfortable walking over new colorful things that make sound. And the jump is just to jump over for fun. These obstacles can be very spooky to your horse. You don’t want them to be afraid. Let them relax by the spooky objects, so they get used to them being around.

This was a very entertaining night. Keeno didn't care about any of these things and loved going through it again and again. Enjoy the video.
