This morning I went to the barn before work, as soon as I had opened the gate to the pasture and started talking to Buzz, Booger looked up and started towards me (along with Lulu and Patrick) so I definitely think I am making some headway with him; or he just expects the treats now. This evening Jill and I worked on a couple of the Friendly Games with Booger, and I can not wait to work with him on them Saturday (or tomorrow morning, but most likely Saturday). We also worked a little with the Friendly Games in saddle, his brain was definitely working now. He was not as flighty and "ready to go" once we finished the ground work and I got in the saddle, I was a little disheartened because he wasn't as ready to canter as before which was probably because his cantering was out of fear and insecurities.
Also, I am finally leasing him as of today so I can go out there any time and work with him, of course I must call it in just in case she might be using him during that time, which is also why I can not wait to actually own him (hopefully). She said to go ahead and lease him for a couple months just to make sure he is exactly what I want. My biggest fear is the other kids getting on him and wearing him down and dulling his senses up so that by the time I am ready to buy him, he won't have as much get up and go as he did when I met him. I really wish I could go ahead and just buy him now, so that I won't have to worry that someone else might be riding him on the day that I want to.
