That's how I am starting Legend. He is doing really well, though still playing with the bit. He does great around our mile circle, until he gets within hollering distance of two pretty roan mares (quarters) at the bottom... then not so much. (I must say, the boy has good taste.) But he is doing better and I figure it is both a reward and a training opportunity. He never avoids being caught once he sees the bridle and surcingle.She looks great and I love the fact you have a well-thought out plan. It isn't the same plan I use, but that is fine because it seems to work for you! (I start them in a harness, without breast collar until needed, and bridle with bit and blinkers). We use ground driving in our 4-H Club and horse shows in this area have added mini ground driving classes.
