With Harold proudly wearing a halter, we start to desensitize him to the lead rope. We should never attach something scary to a horse without first desensitizing them to it. Apologies for the microphone malfunction. Long video today, so I also didn’t proofread the captions. Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Hi! 👋 it’s been a while. Hope y’all are doing great! I’ve had a lot going on. I haven’t been able to play with Harold in a month, but it’s time to get back to it!

I wasn’t feeling myself for Day 15 of so we just hung out a little bit. Trust goes both ways.

Day 14 of introduced another new person to Harold, Jordan Kamperman

Day 13 of . After spending the night in his halter, we took it off and worked on Harold trusting me to hold his face.

Day 12 of the Harold experiment. How far do you think we’ll get? Let me know in the comments before you watch!

09/23/2026

I’m back! Hamish’s surgery went extremely well, and we are back to play with Harold for the 11th time. Today we’re introducing a leather halter and get even closer to him wearing it.

Day 10 of the Harold Experiment. I don’t just want Harold to be compliant with the things I’m asking of him, I want him comfortable with them. How do we know if Harold is truly comfortable with something we have been doing with him? Give me your guess in the comment. Then watch until the end for my answer.

Day 9 of the Harold experiment and we are rubbing ears, scratching faces and starting to get the knots out out of his mane. Body positioning matters, especially when working with a horse that has some baggage.

Join me and Harold for day 8 of our training experiment. Did you know horses can’t see shades of red?
