Here is a website that gives some basic info. I always had a trainer helping me, so I just did what she told me to do,lol. She had told me long trotting behind a 4 wheeler or pony from another horse for 20 min to build muscle. I started teaching my weanling (who is now a yearling) from what I had learned, and he is doing real good. Im sure im not doing everything correct. I find it easier to get assistance from a trainer or someone who has shown halter. It is hard without any assistance if you arent sure of what you are doing
