Day Twenty Three: I notice right away when taking him out of his stall to clean it, Happy is more comfortable around me. He does not flinch every time I move. I even brush him and he seemed to kinda enjoy it. After brushing him for a bit, he starts to get pushy, stepping into my space and bumping me with him nose, as to bit, like before but this time with a playful look in his eye. I kinda felt bad about backing him down but he can’t get his rolls cross and the line of respect confused. He is funny and definitely full of himself now. When I take him out of the barn he talks to the mares and I have to reprimand him by backing him a few times before he figures out why I am getting after him and he stops talking to the mare in the pasture. I round penned him and it took about 30 minute before he would follow me around the pen. He did lose his concentration leaving me to talk to the mares and I had to run him around the pen some more until he would stay with me.
