Day Twenty Five: Today Happy was focused on the mares and wouldn’t pay attention. I put him in the round pen and ran him. He was screaming to the mares the hole time. I bit him around today and he through a little tantrum about it so I left him there to work it out on his own. He was still screaming and fighting the bit after 20 minutes so I left him for awhile longer. It’s important not to make there neck sore so I stay and watch him to find a good place too quit. He was better the other direction and was not trying to run around the pen still and started looking to me now. I decide to step up on him again. This time he was really funny. He raised his head as high as it would go when I stepped up. He didn’t want me over his head and was irritated and started backing with me standing in the stirrup. When I stepped down he pinned his ears and I had to push him back a bit until the look in his eye was more respectful and I tried it again. I stepped up and down on both sides like before and he finally was cool with it again.
