Day 12 of the Harold experiment. How far do you think we’ll get? Let me know in the comments before you watch!

I’m back! Hamish’s surgery went extremely well, and we are back to play with Harold for the 11th time. Today we’re introducing a leather halter and get even closer to him wearing it.

Day 10 of the Harold Experiment. I don’t just want Harold to be compliant with the things I’m asking of him, I want him comfortable with them. How do we know if Harold is truly comfortable with something we have been doing with him? Give me your guess in the comment. Then watch until the end for my answer.

Join me and Harold for day 8 of our training experiment. Did you know horses can’t see shades of red?
