<\/p>\nBoomer is one of those rare ponies that will do just about anything for his “person”, combine that with the fact that he’s pretty fearless – makes the things he can accomplish (in a short amount of time) quite amazing.<\/p>\n
So last week I decided I wanted to teach Boomer to sit on some beanbag chairs I had been saving since I was a kid – just for this reason. He had already had some practice targeting his rear end to things, but I had never fully gotten him to sit on anything from a stand-still.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a few short sessions over a period of 3 days I had him successfully sitting on his bean bags. He was very proud of himself once he figured out what I wanted and now he doesn’t even want to get off of the beanbags.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As he progresses in his training I will slowly remove some of the beanbags until he can hopefully just use one to sit on.<\/p>\n
Next he’ll be learning to shake hands while sitting on his beanbag! He’s such a cool pony!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
