Rupert's ground training has been pretty long. But it is paying off big time. I have been thinking, "Where did the time go?" "Why has it taken so long to get him ridden?" I forget that I could not even lead him away from his mom. You could not get a hose emitting water near him. Plastic bags - forget it. Any new thing I did he freaked out. It has been a progressive, patient introduction of one exercise after the next. Yesterday he had a flank cinch put on and maintained his cool. He also had a side rein put on and worked quietly. He is respectful and trusting. After his workout he got hosed down and seemed to enjoy it.
Yeah Rupert!
