A few people have tried but he is stubbron and I belive he's never been tought, and he's a pretty good boys when I get on and I can leave him in the pasture and not have to worry about training he was off for almost a year and half with me just sitting on him, a few days. Pulled him out saddled and we worked for a half hour and we went around the barrel pattern with a little problem with the last barrel but trotted it after 4 years ago blowing up if he went into an arena where any game (barrels, poles, key hole, ect) was. I've never had a need to loung him in the five years owning him as he's never too hot where I can't control.
