From Trainer Aspen Lyons :

 

It’s been about a week since I’ve worked with Luke so we just did a small refresher! Today I decided that we would try a surcingle, though he can not ride as he is to younge I would like him to be as close to it when and desensitized to it so when he is ready he can just go. He is having a little of a teen attitude with walking right now nothing to bad he’s not refusing to walk I am just having to pull a little more than I would like, so we will be working more on that! But other than that he is doing great especially since he is still just a baby!

 

As always if you are interested in this amazing boy please follow along! As on August 22 - 23 he will be up for adoption at a show in Lennox!
