Day 12




Shonee still doesn't like me behind him. Today I saddled and bridled him. He stands great during saddling without being tied. I put drive lines on him and he tried to keep me in one eye or the other. It was fun to watch him turn his head back and forth as I moved from side to side. I got him to give me a few steps backwards- progress. I tried standing up in the stirrups. It took several tries for him to accept that. I ended the session by standing in the stirrup and lying across him on both sides.
