I used to brush Zero and give him attention 3 or 4 years ago when nobody paid attention to him. Sunday I went out and rubbed his neck, behind his ears, under his chin, and just spent time with him. On the 7th I went back out, did same and brushed him, haltered him, got him to back up It almost seems like he remembers me. Wanted to follow me out of paddock.

Touched Zero\\\'s nose and scratched right side of his neck.

Zero came to me immediately in the paddock and sniffed my hand but then walked away. Tried to advance to him with a halter in hand. He was not having it and kept moving away. Let this go on a little while \\\"to move his feet.\\\" Put away the halter and he let me touch his nose again.

Did not have much time, but Zero let me advance to him in the open. When I got close he stepped forward and came to me. He let me touch him and scratch his nose.

Exercised Zero in the round pen slowly. Slowly able to advance to Zero so that he joined up. Let me touch all over him eventually with my hands. He let me touch both sides of his neck with the halter and rope but would not let me put the halter over the top of his neck, but he let me put the halter over his nose. Lifted both front legs and handled his hooves. He would not let me groom him.

Zero was skittish today. Exercised Zero in round pen. Touched his nose and neck a little, but he would not let me put a halter on him.

Zero was skittish today. Zero kept hiding behind Utah. Exercised Zero and Utah together in the round pen. Took a very long time before Zero would let me touch or scratch him.

Zero was skittish today. Took 30 minutes before he would trust me to put a halter on him. Lead him around.

Haltered Zero and walked him around. Scratched both sides of his neck too.

Zero was skittish today. It took awhile for him to stand still and let me touch his chin and neck. Had to separate Zero and Deacon because they were playing off one another. Once separated, Zero let me touch and scratch him without moving. Did that awhile so he would relax. Haltered and lead around. He steps/jumps over the wooden pole obstacle in the round pen when lead in either direction. He let me lift all four feet but would not let me use the hoof pick or grooming brush today. Lunged/exercised for a short period.

Exercised Zero in the round pen a couple of circles, then he let me advance, scratch, and halter. He lead around well. Did additional exercise and a couple jumps over the ground poles. Groomed and lifted all four feet.

Zero is one of our more difficult horses (mule) at WNCR. Kendra (head trainer) was able to get his hooves done but he has digressed a little and we still need to work on his hooves so that we can do them without sedation. Kendra is currently working with him on this.
