Is there a video on teaching flying lead changes on here, I looked around the video library but didn't see anything. Maybe I'm missing it. That is one area on my horse that I'm currently struggling with. I've watched several videos and listened to a few other trainers but curious if you touch on that here.Â

A quick update on my 2 colts (now geldings) I've had them in for a little over a month, they've come leaps & bounds from when they first arrived. Completely untouched and feral. They had their first trims last week and my farrier was very impressed! They did amazing. I work with them daily on everything and anything I can think of. They lead, tie , load, stand for farrier, bathe, hobble, and are now use to carrying something around on them ... a light cooler or blanket without panicking. I had them tied the other day for an hour and a half and they did excellent. Didn't actually mean to leave them tied that long! I lost track of time working with my others. Glad to know they have some patience instilled in them. I'm pleased with their progress and receiving a compliment from my farrier was the cherry on top. His exact words were I have clearly set these colts up for success. Made my day because I tend to question my abilities too much and sometimes doubt myself. I need to quit that! I'm excited for their futures. I have a 2 yr old coming home next week I had sent off to a colt starter for 60 days so he's going to be my next focus... continuing on with the progress they've made. (Colt undersaddle is my 2 yr old, they started tracking the dummy on him) the other 2 are my yearlings. Next on my agenda is hauling all these colts around with my seasoned horse to barrel races and ropings to get them use to different sights and sounds. First time since I've bought my 4 horse trailer that all slots will be filled! Ought to be fun haha!Â
