 >>>I know the horse(s) should be bombproof before they are ever
hooked up but it doesn't stop me from being nervous about the final
hookup.<<<<

Yeah, that first actual hook-up -- its kind of the same as when you finally
swing your leg over the saddle for the first time on a youngster.  All that
preparation, & now are they really ready for it??
    just try then , if ever, to  have some horse-knowledgable help as
"ground men," at least on that first day - not to tell you what to do-  but
to help if things don't go precisely as planned. Hopefully, after all that
ground work, things will be very quiet and anti-climactic (sp?) on the
actually day. after all, the horse doesnt know its a 'big step' it should be
just another event in the training process.
   er, just Nancy in NH... not trying to sound like i have a clue - just
been in that first time situation a few times now ...   :~
