Cooper has had many firsts this week:
- Cooper is allowing us to pick up his hooves.
- Cooper took his first walk outside of his corral and handled it like a champ
- Cooper learned about the trailer. I felt bad the first time he saw it. He looked as if to say "Oh no!" but he did walk up to it and put one hoof in. He had spent 6 hours in that rolling cage coming home from Litchfield and he was a little concerned. He quickly overcame this and learned the trailer is a good thing.
- Cooper is learning to lead well. It is difficult to teach him to basically follow you, stop when you do and back up. He stops and backs up fine. He is doing much better about moving forward when asked.
- He learned that being groomed is just heavenly.
- I placed a saddle pad and surcingle on him. He handled this like a pro and will be driving around with driving lines soon.
Cooper is doing so well and is continuing to improve on a daily basis.
