I want them to be able to lead with me not a head of me or behind me ( shoulder to shoulder). I would also want them to be respectful of my personal space( staying a respectful distance when walking and not being mouthy). And at that age I would probably start teaching to tie without hard tying(Like having the lead rope draped over a big branch and having them stand quietly there)

Oh and also being able to catch them in a field without a halter on. One of my horses never trained to do this and it’s a pain in the butt to try to correct when they’re older.
