Last week Liz came to help me with Mojo and saddling and mounting block acceptance. We found his saddle does not fit so didn’t walk him round in it, instead we did some desensitising to having someone lean over him. He was so good that Liz felt able to lay over him, and along his back, then sit up.
We then asked him to walk forward – I had him online as we hadn’t put a bridle and reins on him, he wlaked a step and then felt Liz’s legs on his side and he tensed and scooted off. Walked him in a circle and he calmed down and Liz hopped off.
We now need to desensitise him to legs.
Positive Horsemanship.
