If they can listen on a lunge line and stand tied they will get to go with. We had a 2 year old (he's 3 now) that went whenever we had room in the trailer. He's pretty good about a lot of stuff, BUT I would have never hauled him as a yearling stud, because he was a pain in the butt! Had the family jewels removed and we found his brains, he's a super nice well rounded horse and we've only been on him a dozen times. They need the exposure, IMO being used AND getting used to the atmosphere is sometimes hard on them, but each horse is different. If I know I can handle them and I have room they go with.
