We had just finished a nice little ride on good old Coyote and were generally enjoying a beautiful fall day. Coyote was grazing the drive around us when we brought Rusty in. He occasionally went to join Coyote but came back when called.<\/p>\n<p>He has been offering a simple bow, begging for a treat. It&#8217;s better than pawing and maybe I can keep working on it and get him to offer each leg according to which leg I put forward. I can&#8217;t quite wrap my mind around the required steps for a Spanish walk. It is not as complicated as I make it in my head I&#8217;m sure and hopefully someday it will just click but for now it&#8217;s more than I can figure out. So we will work on easier things like learning to paint.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 700px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1461-1\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094711.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094711.mp4\">http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094711.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Of course when I&#8217;m not trying to film it goes smoother, and we will continue to work on perfecting his technique. He was picking the brush up and dropping it so I with held the click and after a few attempts he sat and thought about it. Then he picked up the brush and rubbed it all over the board. All by himself! He&#8217;s getting the hang of it fast. Smart little horse. Soon we will add paper and probably even paint but small steps.<\/p>\n<p>We also have plenty of tries that look more like this:<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 700px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-1461-2\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094755.mp4?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094755.mp4\">http:\/\/www.pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2016\/11\/20161108_094755.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I put 8 in his backpack, on my back of course, because he would not be put down and decided that since my hands were free I might as well&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-clicker-training","category-coyote","category-rusty"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1461"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1799,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1461\/revisions\/1799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
