(day 13) Today I did my usual beginning workout. Afterwards, we went over some yard timbers and tried to go over the bridge. Well, I guess we are not quite ready for the bridge yet so we go down the trail for the first time.

(Day 7) Today Slap Jack allowed me to put the halter on without resistance. I decided to work on leading today. It took him some time, but he finally got it. Slap Jack made several BIG FIRSTS today---haltering, leading, and throwing the rope over his back
