I took Andi for his walk down the road today, and in addition to the lead line, I attached a set of reins to either side of his halter. It was a little tough at first to get him to walk with me at his girth line, but a few steps and clicks, and he quickly caught on. At that point, we started steering to either side of the road, click/treat. He learned whoa, smooch to go, and ended up doing figure 8's all with me at his girth. That boy will do anything for the clicker! It makes the whole process so easy and positive and he craves doing good so he can get his click and treat! I think we can graduate to the longer lines tomorrow and I can fade back a little farther with him.
He is shedding so much, it looks like snow on the side of my trailer where I groom. The spot on his neck where the vet shaved when he was sedated for his gelding is a rich gold! I can't wait till his winter white is gone and he is a golden dapple palomino again!
