Wendy:Today I did some work outside. I started out beside the barn just doing some lunging by the horse trailer. I think Murphy thought it was going to eat him. He did settle down and lunge up to it from both sides before we were done. We ended up in the arena working on some more lunging exercises that he still needs work on and some desensitizing work with the plastic. He still goes between giving the soft eye and evil eye when it comes to the plastic. It is a love/hate relationship. He hates it because it scares him and he loves it because he gets to stand still and rest when he is being rubbed by it. He did make good improvement today with it, but he is still far from being bombproof with it.
