Day Thirteen

(Written April 3)

By making his enclosure larger, Christina and I are trying to downplay that trapped animal response he keeps giving us. He's a big guy to be in such a small pen. I know there is no magic bullet in training horses, but perhaps this will help him relax a little more. The first five minutes of each day are spent relaxing him after we scare him by putting him in the squeeze chute. Perhaps this new attempt will relax him a little more thoroughly...at least, that is my hope.
