Day 16

Hey! Yesterday I started ponying Baja with BooBoo. He was very resistant at first and we had to take it one step at a time. I had him walking beside BooBoo by the end. We also did more bitting and sacking out work.

Today I did the same thing, working more on his resistant right side. I had him trotting, but he is still a little resistant at times. I also have been working on picking up his feet, grooming him all over every day, wearing the surcingle and bit every day, and jumping up and down around him. Today I started working on the mounting block around him, he didn't like me being up high, but finally started getting used to it. I think I will put a saddle on him tomorrow and we will start getting out and about soon. He is leading pretty good now, moving off of me as we turn, backing, yielding hindquarters, etc.
