Day Thirty Five: The work around the ranch has taken my time lately and It has been a few weeks sense I have been able to work Happy. The wind is blowing pretty hard today so we decide to take him in the indoor and do a recap lesson . I lunge him until he is quite and then have Khristen ride him as a passenger while I lunge him. He stays quite until Khristen starts to guide him around the pen while I stand still in the center. When we get to the stop, Happy wants to stop and face me but she holds him straight. He starts to get nervous and dance around. The more she asks him to stand still the more nervous he becomes starting to grab his ass a little. I tell her to let him turn into me when stopping if he will not stand straight but make him go the others way using his energy instead of trying to contain it. He learns to stop and stand still going to the left but still is nervous on the right. She finally gets Happy to stop and stand still to the right, When she starts to dismount and Happy grabs his ass and jumps. We have to do the lesson again until Happy is relaxed again and Khristen was able to step down without him getting upset.
