Cody did well again this weekend. I've ridden him twice and may get one more ride in this afternoon later. Luc took him around the yard once or twice. He did well then too but he was ready to be done.
We practiced mounting from the side of the trailer and he caught onto that pretty fast.
I also have stopped letting him graze during saddling because he keeps moving around. Now he has to stand there. He's not happy about that and is sullen. Luckily though, when I lead him over to mount he seems to forget all about his surly "tude".
When he sees Luc it's all playtime to him. Luc jogged ahead of us at one point, and Cody instantly threw his head up, prepared to buck off after him. A sharp "QUIT" and he settled right down.
He is definitely a horse you need to stay alert on. In a few years though, he should be a very consistant mount.
