Today with goose, I worked on just getting him caught without him being all snaky on the ground. Spent a very long time, catching him, turning him loose, catching him, turning him loose, catching him, turning him loose. And then I caught him and went ahead and put saddle on him, and a little Tom Thumb bit. And went and led him up to the mounting block and got on. I really thought he was gonna break in to, at one point, because he looked at a shadow and saw those long reins trailing down by his shoulder and just started trying to run backwards to get away from him. Once he got used to seeing that though he was just fine. I believe that goose is fairly well broke. I think his biggest problem is that he is scared to death of ropes. Going to spend more time on foot around him going forward than riding.
