Today I went out to see Regalo and when I got out of Catherine's truck and started to walk towards the barn and not his pen he knickered for me to come to him.
This was really a good sign because yesterday we really had a long and hard loading session. He finally did load several times and stayed in the trailer with me. But he was not happy about it and at the end wouldn't take any carrots from me. It had started out really good with him going between close trees and stepping over logs.
Eating grass all along the paths as we walked the woods. LOL
Today was a complete turn around. I fed him his grain and we ran to the back of his pen because I had a stick with a bag on the end of it. He then ran down and got into his stall and waited for me. Took my time touching his real end keeping the stick down and not moving. He was nevus at first and then let me walk away from him with stick moving side to side in front of me.
I tied him to Catherine's trailer and put the new saddle pad and saddle. He was super and very quite about it all.
I did circle game, yo yo game, side ways, squeeze game and stick to me
He was super. Then got him to come up along the rail for me to get on.
He was very still and I know I could of go on. He didn't have hackmore on and I didn't have my helmet. VERY CLOSE NOW
He then got to eat grass out back for awhile.
