Day 12 Yeah he is leading out in the wide open!

I got home from work last night and went right out to work with Easy.  I had been a little too nice to him about certain things and it was time to demand a little more attention from him.  I hoped that this would help him to look to me and respect me a little more and I believe it did.  This was our third day to leave his pen and I did not want him to run off again.  I had my big strong neighbor, Jeff Carr, lead Easy with a 22 foot rope and he successfully made the roughly 800' trip to the roundpen!  Jeff said that Easy was ready and he didn't once think of leaving!  I played with Easy in the roundpen for about 30-45 minutes and led him back to his pen and through the gate a couple of times and back up to the roundpen once more for good measure.  He was really trying to focus on me and was great!
I can't wait to lead him out and around the pasture and arena after work today!
Good Boy Easy!
