Really enjoying our time here at the competition.
Bandit trying out some lights for emergency purposes . It’s always a good back up if your trial riding and get lost and end up riding at night unplanned that they can handle having safety lights attached . This was in our arena and Bandit didn’t bat an eye . He is so trusting of his riders that they will take good care of him . I’m so amazed at this boy everyday .
A little trick Bandit learned. He is so smart and so teachable.
Bandit on a little trail course made by friends of ours . I hadn’t worked with tarps since I first got him so his only reservation was the tarp on his left side but as you can tell from the video it really didn’t bother him that much . He stops and thinks before everything .
Bandit on a trail ride riding double . My brother didn’t want to ride with anyone but my mom . Bandit didn’t even bat an eye . He walked like this the entire time .
We set up our own mini course, nothing to serious just something fun to do .
2nd trim and he was a pro
This was the first time in the saddle with the rope. We did a lot on the ground to prepare and he was so good. I’m not a roper by any means as you can tell I catch he’s ears on accident 🤦🏻♀️ but he just moved his head and kept going . This boy is going to make an amazing lifelong partner. Next thing is to take him to do is sorting to see if he likes cows 🙂 .
Sorry about the poor quality forgot to take cover off phone first . We do a lot of random things so that no matter what (if you slip while riding or something is hanging off the saddle etc) he will see it from all sides and it won’t bug him . He is so willing . My younger brother and younger sister both got to ride him the other day and he was so patient with them.
Bandit taking a little stroll around after the parade, overall he did really good he had an oh no moment with a large drain grate during the parade and with an atv coming up on his butt before the parade (we have gators at home 🤦🏻♀️ so that was def not something we expected) lol he was fine when it come back by though ! It was busy and loud and he handled it like a trooper for only his 2nd time off the property !!! We walked the parade on foot and than did a little riding after it was all done, only a few minutes because it was pretty hot out already !!! Thank you to everyone that sponsors bandit and I or just supports our journey!

Untacked and getting brushed down he is standing goofy on his back but he isn’t actually toes out like that 🤦🏻♀️
