Phoebe walked up to Gary's pasture with an apple in her hand.''Hello there Gary!'' She said with a soft voice. He looked up at her cauctiously.''Do you want a treat?'' Gary snorted and he backed away. As she held out the treat she beggan to smile. The second he saw the apple in Phoebe's hand he started to walked closer.'' Good boy. You can trust me.'' He ate the apple up and looked at her with a questioning look on his face. ''Now that wasn't so bad, was it?'' She couldn't wait to start gentling Gary.

Phoebe walked into Gallants pasture. She Looked at him smiling. He looked up cautiously. After he was asked to move he went off in a steady pace. Once he was be quite responsive when it came to backing she started teaching him to turn on command before touching him. After a couple of rounds around the round pen Phoebe asked him to look at her. When he looked at her she stepped back praised him and did the same in a minute or two. Then she asked for a sniff. The first time it didn't work, but she tried again and it went smoothly. ''Thats enough for today.''Phoebe said smiling. She was glad it was going so well. ''Good boy.''She gave Gallant a treat and walked out.

The next day Phoebe walked back into the paddock. Now that she had some ground control she would try to catch Gallant. He looked over and her. She asked for some movement. After awhile she stopped and offered a place for him to stop. She asked him to look at her. Unlike the last time Gallant looked at her the fist time. Phoebe stepped back and praised him. Then, she waited afew minutes. After doing afew more times he took a couple steps toward her. Before he knew it she clipped a lead rope on his halter. Phoebe praised him again and walked out shutting the gate behind her.
