Romeo has been doing great! I have been working on sidepassing over logs and showmanship with a show halter. He also got his 3rd bath today. 💕

Romeo has been doing great with all of his groundwork. I just started teaching him flexing and have been working on showmanship. Yesterday I worked on desensitizing him to stuff. I desensitized him with a hula hoop, pool noodle, cone, tarp, and a ba****ck pad. 💕

Finally I am out of school and get to focus more on Romeo! Romeo knows how to
-lunge
- back up
- pick up all 4 feet
- side pass on the fence
-being tied up
-trotting in hand
- good at being groomed
- baths quietly
And we are working on much more, like showmanship and desensitization to stuff around the farm. 💕

I finally gave Romeo a bath! He did pretty good for his first bath. He looks so much better. I went with him for a couple walks to the big pasture and he did good. We’ve been working on backing up and lunging and I can’t wait to spend the whole summer with him.💕

Romeo will be available for adoption, Labor Day weekend in Albany, Oregon 💕

Day 32: I made so much progress with this little boy. I taught him how to trot in hand and he is still a little unsure about trotting but we are working on it. He also got to go out into a bigger pasture with his friends Roxy and Cash, he had such a fun time. Today I had a great day with Romeo, we started out with lunging which he is doing really good with,then I went and tied him up to groom him. He is doing so much better with being tied up and with me brushing him. His bridle path was very long and he did amazing with the clippers, he only moved a couple times.I am very proud of him for letting me clip his bridle path and his beard. I love him so much 💕

During the weekend I worked with Romeo on lunging and picking up his feet and more desensitizing. He is finally understanding what lunging is and is getting better each time I work with him. His feet now, I can pick up his front, on his right front he didn’t like me picking it up and jumped around and wouldn’t stand still, I worked with that foot for about 15 minutes and he finally learned that standing still is way easier than jumping around. I am still working on his back feet, but so far so good. I asked my friends Clare and Mary if they could catch him and he did really good. Romeo also got a little treat, I let him out in the pasture with his friends Cash and Roxy, he sure loved it. He is a very curious horse and he learns fast. He will be available for adoption Labor Day weekend so if you have any questions feel free to ask.💕

This weekend I got a lot done. I taught him how to yield the forequarters, how to lunge, and how to back up.He also got tied up for the first time and wasn’t really sure what to do. I have been working on picking up his feet. I can pick up his front feet really good, and I am working on his back feet. He is finally getting used to people petting and coming up to him. He is doing so good for only our second week!

He will be available for adoption Labor Day weekend in September so keep an eye on him💕

Day 9: Romeo is officially halter free!!! Today we worked on stranger danger. He is still a little bit unsure about other people petting him, but we are working on it. We also worked on picking up his front feet with the rope. Remember Romeo will be available for auction Labor Day weekend!💕

I’m so happy that it’s the weekend! That means I get to spend more time with Romeo. Today I worked on more leading and desensitizing. In my first session he wasn’t really understanding the leading part and was really scared when I would walk up to the gate and I couldn’t lead him out of the roundpen to his stall. In my second session, he did way better at leading and went a little more closer to the gate and sniffed my mom’s hand which is great. Plus, at the end of my second session I was able to lead him into his stall.I am making a great amount of progress slowly, but I’m happy where I am at.💕

Day 3: Today I got a new halter on! He wasn’t sure at first with the halter but he got used to it, I did a little of desensitizing him to the lead rope and worked on leading a little bit, he is still unsure about the pressure when I’m trying to lead him but we will work through it. Had a good start for the weekend and looking forward what I will accomplish 💕

Today was a long day, I roped Romeo with the help of my friend Clare. He was doing pretty good until I was trying to get the rope off and he was very hesitant about letting me go up to him, but we worked through it and I got it off. After all of that, he was sure tired, he just let me brush him, and I also got to braid his mane. 💕
