Freedom is becoming more confident everyday with the saddling and playing with him on the ground. He is still unsure about the riding process and I just keep working on building his confidence. I notice that he is nervous still on his trot so I work more on that. I decide that he needs to become consistent in his movement before he is ready to progress. Somethings he is just amazing at but there is this little area that he is not quite sure about yet. I put sand bags and hanging things on the saddle and move him around. It does not bother him. I rub his eyes and tell him that it will be okay.
