Lessons

This is Dave with his 2yr old Skookum, today he was giving him some lessons. This horse is amazingly receptive. It just doesn't seem to matter what you do to him, he has that real ho hum attitude. Having that kind of mentality is really nice to see in a 2yr old, unfortunetly I think he will take that with him when he's in the bush and he is going to be a very boring horse to ride.....slow ....slow .....slow. I guess that's good in it's own way, for myself I can't ride those slow mo's it kind of puts me to sleep. He is a very good boy though, he is so easy to deal with I can't imagine he will be very hard to train....but then you never know. This is Skooks first time with the pack saddle and with the hobbles.

You can see by this picture that even though he was good about it he wasn't enjoying it to much when Dave went to take off the hobbles, he was not liking the noise or the feel of them. What an expression.

Here he's waiting to be turned loose. He's getting better about being tied, his patience is growing along with his body...man he's a brute it is hard to believe he is only 2. He has gone from a pretty homely weanling to a downright handsome fellow. Well that's it guys ,still have chores to do. Have a good night.
