Spooky Horse? Not a chance

In the last week I have spent a lot of time getting Mav not so jumpy and very accepting of spooky objects. My mission is accomplished. I hauled him to a local arena that has a bridge and hula hoops and balls and poles etc...

I was able to put the hula hoop over his head and leave it around his neck the entire session, he didn't care one bit. I also kicked the ball to him, under him, and he even played horse soccer. I was able to bounce the ball off his forehead and back to me and he just stood there like "nope not spooking!" lol it was really funny. He went over the bridge like it wasn't there, didn't even blink, and sidepassed over the ball, the poles and even did a killer showmanship pattern. YAY!

Today I am taking both of them to the arena. Fallon is getting real good about letting pretty much anything touch her, but she still has her filly moments. To be honest I think she's in heat AS A YEARLING! ugggg. Hope its over by Reno.

Here are some pictures of the last few days:
