13th Day

Today is LDivo's ( Divo, means movie star) 13th day here with me. He is progressing quickly. A couple of days ago I started putting a saddle pad on him. He is really curious about everything and hardly flinched. I put it on him from both sides and he just stood there. Today I added a surcingle. I thought that he would react somehow when I cinched it up. He just stood there. He wore his saddle pad and surcingle most of the afternoon. I am thrilled with with his progress. I have put a saddle on his back but not cinched it yet but he is ready. This weekend I will get him saddled and begin his ground driving.
