Sitting in the saddle

Well what a day- Arani is proving to be a bit of a houdini..he seems to be able to get out over the electric tape without leaving a trace..He always waits until I am out of sight- like 2 minutes and he is over the other side cherpy as you like....hmmmmmmm need to rethink this...He comes back in easy enough and yes I have given him plenty to eat and I move the tape all the time...he just likes the grass on the other side better....I am wondering if I should put him on the other side and see if he comes back in...Reverse psychcology maybe- we'll see....Louka and Oscar just merrily go on munching on the right side of the fence, so I'm not sure what triggers his motive except the fact that he can- and so he does. 
Oscar was wonderful- he will take 4 steps each way when he follows the feel of the rope now...he follows me when I walk around the yard with his head but not quite with his feet now and he volunteerily touched my hand with his nose 3 times today, and he is eating hay from my hand again....He loves me to scratch him with the pole now- I try to use it like a brush so that he is used to that motion, and he loves it....When he looks at me now he doesn't have that wide eyed look- he's getting softer and softer by the day...He isn't as keen on the hard feed as Arani, but he does eat it if there's no hay about, so should be able to worm them next week.
BUT exciting news:- Megan sat on Louka tonight..not a flinch, he was sooo relaxed about it all...I lead him only a couple of steps at a time to make sure his balance was ok...and he was incredibly obliging...he just took 3 steps forward - did a bit of licking- then another 3steps- shifted his weight- then another 3 steps....then we just stayed like that for a while- another 2 then 3 steps and sit....wiggled around leant back and forth- sideways all with such an accepting attitude....it was like a natural progression from what we have been doing on the ground...Beeeautiful boy!!! Then it was back for a special feed...think he deserved it.
