Week Two - Rooster 2.0

Rooster seemed to enjoy the attention - look at that mane!

We survived week one!  Still a bit spooky, but I know he'll come around.  I'm happy to report that after less than a minute of squirting the detangler spray bottle around Rooster, he didn't have a care in the world about it.

Due to the wet weather we had a few days ago, it's still pretty muddy and we haven't done a ton of work.  I can brush him all over, handle his feet and have no problems walking up to him to snap on a lead rope.  Not making huge strides like some of the other trainers, but again I'm happy with our progress.  Looks like we have sun and 70s in the forecast this week, so my plan is (like it was before the snow storm!) to get him under saddle and hopefully ridden by the weekend.  We'll see how it goes!
