I just wanted to post a video from early fall that I never got around to uploading until now. In this video I was working on getting Romeo comfortable with a rope around his leg and me holding his leg up in preparation for teaching the bow trick. I quickly found out that he was very fearful of ropes holding him in a certain place, especially when the rope was on his legs, so I used the Parelli method of desensitizing him to the rope being around his leg, and as you can see this is only the second day I worked on it and I was already getting a bow at the end! Not perfect by any means but definitely progress from when he would jump around until I let go of the rope because he was so scared of it before.

There has been so much snow that I have been unable to do any kind of filming with Romeo for my video editing projects for CAS, since we aren't even able to walk to the arena because the snow is so deep. However this weekend there has been a lot of rain and mild temperatures which will follow through to this week so I'm hoping that by next week we should be able to film enough to at least get me started on a project. I have also been spending a great deal of time on this part of CAS in terms of finding a suitable editing software that isn't very expensive, as well as researching the pros and cons of each one. I have narrowed it down to a couple so I will hopefully be able to make my decision soon!
