Jessica demonstrates what Buster has learned in the last seven months. |
|
|
 First Jessica lunges Buster to get the energy out and get his attention to work. |
 |
 |
 Well, he's had enough of that. |
 |
 Jessica brings him over by the gate to put the surcingle on. Buster's always interested in what's in the bag. |
 |
 |
 Here's Buster doing his best imitation of a giraffe as Jesse puts the snaffle in his mouth. |
 |
 Take two. |
 Success in getting the bit in. |
 |
 |
 |
 He's tighter on his left lead, so this is the direction Jesse will work first. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 Making some adjustments |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 He's still not very soft or giving but it's probably been about 10 minutes of this, so that's enough. |
 |
 |
 He's softer going to the right, but he's still not very happy about this whole deal. |
 And here's some resistance. |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 After this lunging, Jesse removes the surcincle and bit and rides him for a few minutes bareback in the round pen. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| And this is as far as we got in his training since June. | In a couple of days, Buster will learn what real work is all about. |
