Since the last time I posted, Deuce has gotten a lot better! I started trotting him on the longlines and this is actually getting challenging for him because he has to control his body a lot more. On the lounge he likes to throw out his hind end but on the long lines this is easy to prevent and he got pretty mad about that at first. I've attached a video of him which shows him being pretty well behaved after I had a few fights with him. I've never taught a baby how to long line before, but I think we are both learning a lot together. In the past I've long lined him mostly at the walk and in figure eights so he gets used to the reins leading him where to go. This weekend was the first time I asked him to trot nicely around me while keeping some rein contact. Thanks to my friend John who is visiting this weekend, I was able to get this video and a bunch of really nice pictures!
