Finally made it back out

I had family events the past few weeks so Cajun was a little miffed with me today when I went out to see him. He was a little nippy--- regressing into old behavior-- because he hasn't had any reinforcement in the past few weeks. After the round pen he seemed much better and the grooming routine went really well. No pawing the ground or trying to get to the hay. He once again had lead in his feet when it came time to picking his hooves. He doesn't do this for the trainer or the ferrier. Just me. I think it's a challenge and he is seeing if he really has to listen to me, trying to jockey for position if you will, trying to see just who is the dominant one in the relationship. He has alot of trust issues, especially when you go for his face. I hope in time he will trust me and allow that trust to generalize to all people.

Prinze was a doll as usual. He had alot of energy and was still pretty nervous. He is getting much better at me touching his face and lets the ropes touch him all over, but he is still braced like he is ready to bolt at any moment. In time.... all in time.
