"ok" I say frowning. "We need to tune in his cow smarts and teach him to let them take over." I say, and begin to think. "Let's try something else. Walk him up to it again and use your reins to keep him completely focused on it. I will come up and move the modle and tug on the reins only slightly, telling him to move with it. Whatever you do don't let him take his eyes off tht "cow" ."

"alright" i said. i whispered to Pete,"focuse boy, move with it, stay focused,"we went up to it and he didn't do anything, he just concentrated on it and walked around it with his eyes on the model.

we went up and sniffed it, and Pete broke into a trot around it, so i let him move and let Pete do his thing.

we'll work on sprints. we'll go out to the feild and race from one end to the other several times. this will help his stamina and get you use to the feel of his going fast and truning sharp!
