Fence Training
My crush on Harvey keeps getting stronger the more I work with him. Today ended up being a much longer lesson than I had meant to do. I offered to saddle Coyote for my daughter so she could ride around while I worked Harvey. She wanted to but was very disappointed that I wasn’t getting on to ride with her. So we all went for a walk. Out through the hay bales and around the quanset then back. My daughter hopped off and Coyote went back inside. Finally we could start for real.
I can’t wait to get on him. I have to keep reminding myself that he needs to know more first. More like how to step up to a fence to let me on. I crawled up on the hitching post and we had our second ever lesson on stepping over to the fence.
As he overcomes his fear of people his natural desire to cuddle and be sweet is shining through. This is almost two minutes of an eight minute session. We spent most of it nuzzling on the fence.
