Part Four
Fourth Week

We decided to see how he handled mounting-like activities.

Getting up close with the saddle on
A little hug to reinforce not going forward
Flapping the stirrups and making noise
A few short lifts in the stirrup
It was getting late and Scout was showing quite a bit of anxiety about people "getting tall" when mounting so we decided to call it a day and desensitize him to people above him before throwing a leg over.
