Forth Week With Calypso



The forth week we worked on saddling as you can see it was not well accepted. When we did the saddle on I again worked him from the ground and from Cricket. He move nicely and his feet were free. A few tests of the stirrups, some trail mounts and dismounts and my brother Shannon was on. He walked nicely by Cricket and seamed calm. Wrong! His other self was back and he went into a buck. Shannon reached for the night latch missed and lost parts of two teeth an other jump and he was off. Got back on took a few steps so we could end on a good note but a new whistle. The next day we put the saddle back on and laid him down for some imprinting. He stood calmly while we saddle and re saddled changed cinches and removed stirrups.
