It's been a while since taco has had a true desentization training session. This 5 yr old mustang doesn't overreact and I got lazy after he turned 4 since he's pretty* ๐ฃ bombproof already. So it's been pretty much a year or so.
But, whenever the universe decides I'm ready to be pregnant and have a kiddo, I wanted to make sure we cover all our bases as Taco will be the one to tote a little cowgirl or cowboy around. Also it would be pretty dope to have some horseback maternity pictures with a pretty flowy dress ๐. (After 9 months of trying and 1 yr of planning let's hope this month is it fingers ๐ค)
โ Anyway, Recently I discovered taco is not a fan of flappy things in the saddle area that the rider holds- i.e. one of the lesson kids decided her jacket was too hot, went to take it off and taco got worked up danced a bit sideways when she was in the process of taking it off. It wasn't too dramatic but it's something that needs to be addressed since he lessons kids and beginners. I didn't think anything of it at the time as taco let's me rope off him, carry and grab solid objects like a empty gas can etc in the saddle.
โก I'll be posting the training sessions with insight tips and advice, and how we build up to the instance the proper way to ensure confidence in the horse. Stay tuned!
