Heath figured that it was much like training a bird. Of course training his new patched horse was far more difficult then the bay mare would be for Niro. He was like a wild bird, trusting so few and having to watch Heath so very closely to make sure that he wouldn’t be doing anything that the horse may not like. Of course everything that Heath wished to do, saddle him, ride him, lead him, were things that the young stallion didn’t want to do at all. He needed to be broken, even as much as Heath hated to use such a word. It was only a way to see if he would stop resisting. Heath had given him every opportunity to leave, and every day he would allow the painted horse to go if it was his wish. If Heath did that he wasn’t breaking anything, was he?
I’m glad they don’t have wings. he said with a light hearted grin.
But the mare had been trained, and knew what it was that the inexperienced handler was doing. It was indeed important that they got to know one another, but as the saddle was laid on her back and tightened to just the point that Heath wanted she knew what they were doing and was ready to do so. Both horse and Marshal were patient as Niro pulled himself onto the saddle, Heath held her head and spoke to her softly. His hand petted her softly down her nose, and once he was seated Heath gave him a nod.
Keep your back straight, just get the feel of her gait. Hold the horn if you loose your balance. Heath told him, taking the lead rope so that he could walk them around. It wasn’t exactly riding, but it would take baby steps before the male would be riding on his own.
