Day six: Today I spent more time brushing him, I tried a softer brush and that was more to his liking. He still didn't like me brushing his legs going down on one knee, pulled back and then leaped forward in protest. He finally realized I wasn't going to to give up and so he stood and let me brush his legs and belly. I bit him up like before, this time I stay in the pen and push him forward around at a trot. He trotted off good, figuring out the motion his legs make and giving to the pressure shaking his head in protest. I only push to the trot at first, making sure they are giving to the pressure of the bit without fighting any more before pushing to a lope. Happy decided maybe loping would be better so off he went. It wasn't, and so he started to buck, hitting his mouth hard a few time before he firgured out how to buck and not hurt his mouth. He carried on bucking for a good five minute or so and then trotted and loped around the pen trying to find the right spot in witch to carry his head with the least amount of pressure.
