Yesterday a cold front came in that had me go from a tank top and jeans to a sweater and jacket in the same day. Unfortunately today the weather was still chilly. I had grooms in McKinney, so only fed everyone and had a very short session with Ike today. On the bright side, with the last bit of carrots I had... We got a few bows without even touching a foot. He isn't folding a leg and coming down on the knee, but he's bringing his head down and back in a calm fashion. (And looking for what to do with those feet.) :). He's got the target down pretty well. (Still improving)
Going to teach him;
* give me a kiss
* give me a hug
* smile
* lay down
* stand
Those are the goals for now. The more I have him learning/ understanding... The more willing he'll be to look for what's being asked in the future. :). I won't overwhelm him with everything at once.
Picture is an online image of a trick horse (not mine) just to show what Ike is doing.
