Since his gelding, Mateo has been waiting out some of his excess testosterone — or rather, we have been waiting for some of his studly behaviors to lose some of their potency. As a result, we have kept Mateo’s working sessions short and sweet, but this smart guy will likely be a quick study. We pulled him in recently for a groundwork session to prepare him for his first (at least with us) saddling, and he took all of the rope work in stride, as you can see below. It likely won’t be long before we cinch him up, and we are hopeful that it will be as smooth and easy as we believe it could be.
