Went out and rode yeasterday, had a good ride worked on getting Lu off his front end and keeping him guessing. I finaly got him to the point where I could hold him with both hands while pushing him into the bridle. Only a few steps but he didnt fight it. It seams that his used to left or right contact but not both hands to lift and collect. Anyways he handled it better than when my friend was riding him so thats a good thing.
Today he finaly got to go outside with the other show geldings. He ran around then stuffed his face in the round bale with the other colts. It went really we considering that we dont know the last time he was turned out in a group. The closest thing we can think is that when he was a baby still on the breeding farm. We know that hes only had privet turnout from 2004. He was bored by himself I think it will be good for him to play with the boys.

I'm glad things are progressing with his training! I can't wait to see how you guys do at the shows.
I bet he'll love having turnout with other horses. I always feel bad for the show horses that barely get turned out, much less get to spend time with other horses. I know it's safer and all, but sometimes it does them good to just be horses for a while. :)
