Elliott has been behaving a lot better lately, when I ride him and when I'm on the ground working with him. I think he is starting to trust me more and obey me better. We are in the process of creating a bond and trusting each other, the process is slow, but it is coming along. The more he trusts me, the better we will work as a team and then I will become a better ridder and we can work more on riding bareback. I rode Elliott bareback last night and he was very good with it, he obeyed me and listened well to all of my leg cues and commands. I just walked around bareback last night, we are working up to the point where we can trot bareback and then eventually take it further.
