Hi ive had horses for many years but never babies! however 10 months is still quite young,i wouldnt do much at this stage,as his bones are young and growing and doing to much to young could give him problems in later life.walking in hand and introducing him to sights and noises at this stage is ok but pole work etc is definatley a long way off.I personally dont like people backing horses to young either,there was a man on my yard who was putting saddles on,and sitting on his 18 month old!backs arent strong enough at this point.Take it slowly and enjoy him.Why dont you try a bit of parelli type games,like getting him to walk over and through spooky objects,this is a great way to bond and gain trust and confidence.The long line training teqniques are also good.Have fun.
