Team Tug
March 3 - I think we're in the 6th or 7th week and Tug is almost ready to ride..It has taken this long to bond and gain the trust he needs to be started..I did get on him about the 3rd week and he bucked me off which told me he was NOT ready to accept that much pressure yet..Im no stranger to riding colts that buck and usually dont come off but this guy was wild through and through and I knew he would get me off again! They say it takes around 6 weeks to bond with and take the wild out of a horse that is raised wild and not surprisingly just this week Ive made huge strides with his trust and acceptance..His expression is changing and he is bolting away less and less. Im really pleased with his progress despite not being ridden yet, but it is much more important to have the trust before you can teach them while on their backs.
