Comanche investigates the saddle

Comanche grew up wild on the range in Little Owyhee, NV on the NV/Idaho border. He was gentled at the Canyon City, Colorado correctional facility, then adopted as a special needs horse by the Falcon Ridge Ranch horse rescue. When an old injury healed, he went to Tori, and now he's here. I'll review basics, continue with easing his understanding of life amongst humans and start him undersaddle.

Rena and Comanche

Day 2

Comanche befriended Windy, who's watching us work.

Day 3

Catching, haltering, showing scary new objects and noises

Day 4

Will Comanche's love of Windy conquer his fear of the saddle? The saddle, even on top of another horse, worried him. Rena's show, don't tell, about body language. Which had meaning for him, and which should he ignore, how can I make that clear to myself, and to him?

Day 5

My raincoat makes scary noises! 

Day 7
Presenting saddlepads to him, leading outside of the pen

Day 9
Petting him from the fence! Anything above worries him.

Day 11
Picking up all four feet, saddlepad.

First ponying, ball play
