Day 7

I brought Upendi out of his stall today and into the round pen. I was nervous about how he was going to act because of the last time I took him in there. So I let him go and inspect the pen before we started to work. I got a flag to get him to go forward. Once I got him to go around a few times I cut across to get him to switch directions. I kept doing that until he stopped to switch directions. Once he did I wanted him to face me and pay attention. After that I let him mosey around a little bit and he got to check out the flag. It was funny to watch him he was curious about the dog and he bit and pawed at the flag. Then Upendi and Bunny switched stalls because we thought Upendi was getting too attached to another horse. 
I got him a new halter that is like a teal blue color that looks really sharp on him. Plus it is much easier to control him with it. Today I also sprayed him with a different color fly spray bottle and he didn't care at all. I was thinking tomorrow maybe bring a rain slicker to play around with.
