In my experience the horses enjoy and learn from watching one another's experiences. Although you may not teach them how to balance for a jump, you do teach them there is nothing to fear and alot of fun to be had. They watch, listen and learn from one another that the event is engaging. Wild horses come to realize that as prey species they have nothing to be concerned with us. However, the key is to truly follow-through on that trust based relationship.
Does it speed up getting trust from the mares because they see the babies being okay with humans? Or having other Mustangs around that they can watch being around, like taking them all out together in a group in the leading?
