He can...

• give to pressure
• respect your space
• lead
• walk on top of a noisy tarp, even if you're flapping it while he's standing on it
• pick up his feet - but not consistently
• get into and off a trailer like a gentleman
• lunge
• stop when you say "whoa"
• not balk when a fuzzy blanket is flapped near him or tossed on his back (even from a slight distance)
• speed up when you cluck or smooch

Can you say quick learner?  Its amazing what consistency and an immediate praise (release of pressure in most cases) will do for a horse.  Oh, and he nickers when you arrive.  He's trying to weasel into my heart, little devil.

Ideas for this week:

• more work on getting those feet to be picked up, he'll need a trim and I'm hoping it can come in the next two weeks if I'm consistent and persistent
• more lunging
• more exercises giving to pressure
• obstacle courses to walk around, over, through, spin a circle within, back around, etc.
• more silly random things to desensitize 
• a bath from the knees down to get some of the perma-mud off his legs and so I can get some decent photos
• a walk or two outside instead of just work in the barn
