Went out to go work Riley today. He's getting so much better about lunging. He's not testing me anymore and he's getting better about listening to commands. He's still not balanced enough for me to ask him to canter. And I kinda want to get his feet done before I push him hard. I lunged him with the bridle and surcingle on and he was less fussy about having the bit. He chewed for a bit but then settled into working. Then I took the bridle off and replaced the surcingle with my saddle. He tried to eat it the whole time I was putting it on lol. So I knew we weren't going to have a problem. This was just his second time with it on too. No bucking, no naughty-ness nothing. Just trotted a long like there wasn't anything on his back. I have this feeling that hes going to be a very easy horse to start. I'm falling even more in-love with him every day.

A couple days ago we worked with halter, I wanted to see if he would stand still. Hes very ADHD lol. But he trotted by me just fine and stood there as still as he can be lol. Then we worked on getting him to set...which he doesn't get at all.. but he's starting to pivot! Might take him to Spring Grove to show him halter and maybe showmanship if he's ready. That should be exciting[:
