I concentrated on handling Cocoa's head. It's still a challenge just getting the rope over his nose but at least he's good about me touching his body. You'll see I'm using the rope to try and block unwanted movement while my other hand is at his girth working on his bending button. This is a 6 year old wild horse and I'm not going to force his head anywhere. I have to work on building trust and relaxing the muscles. You'll notice I keep my belly pulled away trying to be respectful and not put a lot of pressure on him. At the end you'll see that as he softens and drops his head I bow out and take the remaining pressure off him.
