Totem 5yr old Ahkal-Teke Gelding Ground Driving

A "Where he is At" training video.

He has a tendency to go behind the vertical a lot with the curb bit setup... much less than a month ago, so definitely improving but he needed to learn how not to FREAK OUT at the whole pressure thing of being in the pasture next to the vehicles and the new bit and the "me not right beside him holding his hoof" thing, which was a real problem for him for a while... the whole, running backwards while I was running away while ground driving was quite invigorating! LOL Had to be really really FAST on my feet or I'd get mowed down--he was that fast! LOL

But as I let him deal with it, (pressure) he is learning to be braver and stronger and will eventually keep a little quieter mouth and get less "overbend"-y. He's doing well, improving, just a little squirrelly in "new" situations. His main problem is hyper focus and vigilance of anything new and scary. Love his little jumps over the pipe though! LOL
