Obviously, they aren't really strongly ingrained, but there's definitely some understanding. He's been introduced to the friendly game, porcupine game, and yoyo game. I think I'll just play these for a week or so and let him get them down more solidly, then introduce more. I have a bag tied on the fence to desensitize him to the random movement/sound. Played friendly game touching ears, nostrils, under tail, between back legs, sheath, and lips today. ( started lightly swinging carrot stick and slapping ground softly) just walking through paddock and then with him on line. He's the most active of everyone. I'm trying to spend a lot of undemanding time with him so he feels comfort in my presence, since I'm also asking more of him than anyone in his past has. He's already comfortable with me mucking anywhere I want while he calmly goes about his business.
