nemo update week one

Nemo had a great first week in training! We resisted calling but once last week. It was good to see him today happy in his stall, and give him some love. Not that he needed it. Patty said he really enjoys his lessons, and is very smart - they like working with him. He did good with his ground work, lunging, and packed a saddle right away. She was impressed, and said we had done a good job with him :) He's being started on a fat smooth snaffle bit. They are now working on getting him to bend/turn on the bit. What a fun place for the boys to be, and it shows!

We did get Koda up to the trainer (safely) it was a big relief. I really thought the boys would care about being separated, they were born one day apart and never been without each other - but they don't. I continue learning more about their emotions, apparently theirs are completely different than ours.
