Day 17, June 30

Caugth him, saddled him, took him into the arena, worked him left then right, got him going forward on the line. Hung plastic bags over saddle, he's still really bothered by bags, he kicks at them, trys to run from them. After he accepted them fairly well I took the bags off. Then I laid him down. He wasn't relectant about being laid down. He did not fight it as hard as domestic horses do. I then led him into the small stall and put weight in stirrup on both sides . He seemed to accept this fairly well so I swung my leg over and set on him. I immedately got off, led him around the stall, unsaddled him, hosed him off, gave him a wormer and called it a day.
