Yesterday I went to work with Nick again after having the weekend off for church camp and a break. The food thing worked pretty well and we worked out who was the dominant party between us. I was able to chase him away from the food with little or no fuss.
The lunging lesson went pretty well. It needed one person in the middle and one person leading the horse around the outside to give him a hint about what to do. He tried walking and trotting in a circle and then figured he would try pulling back and thrashing about. That didn't work and the most comfortable thing in the end for him to do was to walk in a circle.
Today I will go out and reinforce this lesson and hopefully get him trotting on command.
