Anna Hedrich I think it would be good to continue on with the training.  It will keep things stable in that part of his life at least.  If he's too distracted, you can always take a break and pick it up later, right?🙂

Brad L. I'd at least go through the colt starting program.  It'll plug any holes in his program and it will give oyu a good foundation to work from.  Maybe include your daughter, too.  If she's like mine, she'll probably get bored quick but maybe she'll pick some of it up🙂.   You'll probably get through it quick then go right into the snaffle bit basics form there.  Good luck and keep us posted.  RB

Lucas T. thanks pard.

Tammy W. you too!🙂

Tammy W. Yeah.  You know I don't remember thehorse ever having the issue before.  I would think I would notice something like that!🤦

Tammy W. I think you've got it covered.  Not a lot you can do more.  Have you taken his internal temp just to make sure he's staying normal?  That might be the only other thing I'd add. 🙂

Kelly M. by the way,  What didi he have that made him break out in sores?

Kelly M. Cash was similar. With him I just kept at it.  Training when I could and trying to have the good habit of at least getting him standing so I could mount if I was in a hurry that day.  It probably took 3 or 4 months and now he's great.  He got sore too and it took a while for him to get over it.  I never really considered laying him down because I knew that if I were patient and consistent, He'd come arpound.  Although, I will say that had I laid hm down early on it might not have taken so long😂.  At the end of the day I'd say that if he's dangerous, lay him down.  If it's just an inconvenience, give him time, he'll give it up.  Good luck!!

Chandler G. I don't feed treats to the horses.  No reason, they just don't need them.🙂

Matt B. Just normal length.  Same as a halter.
