This 6th month was one of the busiest on the farm and I didn't get to spend as much time with Enzo. But, I feel like we were a little more productive in the little time we had. Every session ended better than it started, and I think this is what count the most. During this month, this is what we focused on the most :- Going for walks, meeting and being petted by strangers, vehicules and dogs,- More tarp desensitizing,- More liberty lunging, first circles at the trot,- Learning to jump the cavaletti (this was funny, lol!),- Standing to be fly-sprayed all over and accept a fly mask with velcro closure,- Stand on pedestral, walk on elevated wooden surface (will be great for trailering and learning to go on bridges later on),- More trimming and caring of front feet, touching the back legs,- Learning to get hosed,- Standing to be tacked up calmly without bolting away,- Rein cues, including bending at the poll, direct rein, and neck reining.- First sit on his back, first step with a rider, first dismount all the way to the ground.But mostly, it was about spending fun, quality time together and strengthen our relationship.

We often overlook what we take for granted, but Enzo makes me realize how much horses give to us and how we should never take things for granted because they don't owe us anything. We must work to obtain their trust and partnership, we must be what they need the most : a trustworthy leader.

This 4th month was... a lot of learning for me.

Fast enough, the third month came around. Training went fast too, maybe a little too much... But I thought it was good!

The first month with Enzo was hard and full of long hours of patience...

After the first month, I could touch Enzo's nose, put a halter on him and lead him. Now what?

He is a Unhandled gelding that I named Enzo. I don't know much more than : approx 8yo, approx 14hh, pulled out of the meat truck a year ago by the woman I bought him from.I do not know how far I will be able to go with him. But the experience gain from it will be huge and worth it.''
