Tractor training with this splendid horse today. We followed it and then it followed us until he was much calmer about it toddling along behind him. The main aim was to be able to ask him to halt without him turning his bottom and touching the fencing on either side of the track or lane. I found that if I attached a second rein on to his right hand side (and actually short reined him) I could use the right rein first in the halt with just my ring finger and he kept straight. Obviously I made a lovely fuss of him whenever he did this and David, who was driving the tractor, made sure that he didn't creep up too close. Still more work to do but his owner should be in the saddle on the next occasion.
