Today's lesson was about "flappy" things on our back. We did start with firing some blanks in the arena, a little louder than outside and Booker was a little surprised by it. Gonna do a few more sessions of that from the ground before we get on his back since he did react more than we expected this time around.
We worked a bit with a lasso as well. Swung that around from the ground and from his back to get him used to different flappy things. He did pretty well with that so we moved onto the flag. Worked with the flag on the ground on all sides before we mounted up. He was actually really good with the flag on his back. Even did some trotting with no issues.
After he trotted for a while and was used to the flag we hiked it up higher to make sure it was flapping as much as possible. Then we moved to dragging the flag down by his rear legs. That concerned him more than anything so we worked on that for a while until he settled in.
