Day 3 (Starting Roping)

Steve:
Today was a little better. I had to rope my horse again today but ended up with the halter on. I started with basic round pen work, getting my horse to turn and face up to me. I then had to rope my horse to actually approach and touch him. He kept snorting as I approached him with that “you better watch it, Mister” look in his eyes. I don’t know who was more scared, me or him. My main goal was to work on catching him and getting him comfortable with me approaching him. I finished the session by working on his leading.
