Day 8
Once I have the line on it’s as though everything makes sense to this horse.
We worked on hip control, lunging, desensitizing, moving the front end, picking up feet, bitting and blanketing.
It’s like he sleeps on it and says OK, Got it!
Day 9-12
This guy remains very flighty, but has a lot of curiosity that I love to see in a horse. The only thing he seems spooky about is people and we can work on that.
We continue to work on ground work control, desensitizing of all types, and flank rope, but my current issue is not being able to find a cinch that is small enough for this horse! He needs about 300 lbs on him!
Finally I find a small enough cinch, we saddle up, off he goes and all is great until I ask him to canter.
He goes to bucking (no big deal!) and the saddle slowly moves all the way back to his butt, but by the grace of God does not roll! He comes to me for help and I am able to get the saddle off, now the task of finding a breast collar small enough!!!!
Day 13
A.M. Ground work and trailer loading, still trying to locate a small enough breast collar. No place in Corpus has such a beast!
P.M. Success! Now we can move forward!
Saddling goes great as well as all rope work I like to do . Hallelujah!
