Team Alex May 14, 2026 - Update!

From Trainer Sarah:
 
I've been checking off some goals with Alex lately!
 
petting freely in the open
not flinching from touch
giving into body pressure
easily haltering
introduce to new people
moving feet with halter pressure
 
Alex isn't much of a follower so getting him to actually walk towards me or be curious enough to investigate can be difficult.
His only con is he holds all the stress in and then explodes when its too much, so I've been giving him a lot of releases so he can stay calm and willing to participate.
 
I dont have many pictures or videos but will definitely try to get some later today or tomorrow!
Alex will be available for adoption at the Dakota Showdown Finale on August 23, 2026 in Lennox, South Dakota. Check out http://dakotashowdown.com for more info.
