Today I decided it was time to see how Hercules did with a bit.  He has been giving to the halter really well and was ready to progress.  I also put a surcingle on the big guy so I could use some side reins to start getting some flexion going.  He is still a little touchy with his ears but took the bridle very well other than that.
   
I also thought that I would see how he did with me jumping around him.  He would get nervous but did allow me to jump up and briefly lean on him.  Then I just did some more work with his ears.

He is a very gorgeous horse!!! He reminds me of my baby "Lucky Star". He was a wild mustang also and looked very similar to your "Hercules". Mustangs are the BEST in my opinion!
