Day Two:Happy came out of his stall with his eyes bugging out of his head. The first saddling made him worry and now he was sure that something was going to get him today. It took a good half an hour of lunging before he would settle down. As I watch this colt sweep across himself with every change of direction, I can't help but to addmire his grace and conviction of movement, I will admit I'm not in a real big hurry to get on him.
I put the saddle on and cinched it up to the first hole and waited a minute. He felt the cinch and he rounded his back, stiffened his frimt legs and arched his neck but he just stood there so I waited some more and finally he relaxed. After repeating this process a few times I got the saddle snug and he decided he was going to be OK after all. He walk out with the saddle on and didn't buck today. Still wide eye and full of fire but he was excepting the saddle on his second day. Today started off a little rough but ended good. I was happy with Happy.
