[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1269696, member: 24016"] Here's a couple of things that usually help: 1. Leave a radio on in the barn, all the time they are in if possible 2. Have family help work them, even if it is just brushing or blowing 3. Load them up and drive around the block once or twice a week Plenty of other ideas along the same theme. The idea is simply to desensitize them. Getting them used to the sounds and sights of a show while at home is key. It even helps to get them used to your good feed pans and buckets beforehand. We even have a big old stroller in the barn that gets pushed around by my daughter, just so they don't freak out the first time they see one. Anything that you can do to reduce the stress of all the new things they will experience will help them stay calm and eat and drink well at your shows. [/QUOTE]
