"Outlaw is loading up in the 2-horse very nicely these days. Also standing patiently and backing out calmly as well. Such a cool horse!" Ethan Savitsky, Buckaroo Balance. More training for Outlaw this week. For the non-horsey people, this might not seem to be a big deal. But having a horse that loads, stands, and unloads patiently and calmly is essential. Way to go Ethan Savitsky of Buckaroo Balance for providing excellent horse training.
