Friday night was a good night for me an Regalo. We did some grazing and then went to work in the arena. He is getting much better at the squeeze game, learned the figure 8 and did jump over one single barrel. The big thing was to move closer to me while I was sitting on the rail ledge. Simply tapping him with my stick, he moved over towards me. His sideways game is doing good. He was very good for me on Friday night.
Sunday afternoon I came out later and fed him and then went to get the halter, he turned away, but stayed still. I was able to put the halter on him. This is getting much easier. I do let him graze every time he gets out of the pen. I was working with the twenty two foot line, and he was doing very good. I still have some stopping on the going to the right in circle game. We played the falling leaf pattern, he got the pattern pretty fast. Did the touch game with the cone and barrel. sideways down the outside of the arena was very good. Backed into the round pen with mud very deep behind him. He did it twice. Went outside and went through some good mud puddles ( nice). Then we went out to the trailer and he loaded with a send, but then gets worried about coming out and stands in there until I get in and back him out. Second time going in was harder and took longer and again I had to go in the trailer to send it back out. I thought he did very well with the different plans. He was groomed and all before the work started. He was a super star tonight. Well done Regalo.
