We finally made some head way!
Well Kizer did much better with our progress yesterday! I decided that he had firgured out our round pen game so I moved him to a pen about the size of a large box stall. It worked! He wasn't so concerned with me petting him as he was with the actual part of me coming up to him to pet him. So it was a good day and the thought of adding more pressure really worked. I also introduced him to the saddle pad from the rail and within about ten mins. he was unconcerned with it to. So maybe today I will start introducing the saddle to him!
