People need to be careful what they wish for. I told my trainer I was bored in the arena. She told me she was going to put me some different stuff in there to for me to do. Yea. New toys in the play pen:')
Hey, nothing wrong with that. If you're not real comfortable with high "pucker-factor" situations, it's better to find out that your horse has "issues" with things in a controlled environment than out on a trail, 20 miles from nowhere. Once you throw some different things at them in the arena and get an idea of how they react, then you can feel better about encountering new things out on the trail. Sounds like a good plan.
