Okay I want to look over what the fillies know so far. They will let us walk up to them and pet them and they are relatively easy to catch. They have become extremely friendly too. They all know how to move their hindquarters, move their shoulders, back up, the idea of flexing, picking up feet, tying, and the beginnings of ground tying. They have been desensitized to the lead rope, a plastic bag, a whip slapping against the ground, and a frisbee. The frisbee can fly past their heads, over their backs, between their ears, maybe clip the tips of their ears or slide off their back, and even hit them and fall next to their head, and they won't do a thing. We can jump down off the fence next to them and put our feet on them while sitting on the fence.
And on another horse, Santana is doing quite well. He is being more sane about running poles, and also about starting the run. But I can't get him to canter in jumping figure eight.
Look at how long his tail is!
