From trainer Jay Westerbur: 

 
I was super bad about getting any videos or pictures this week (oops). But I did remember to film today to at least be able to post something.
We worked on haltering as always, he’s becoming a pro. I am able to touch him almost all over his body and we worked on letting me pet his front legs! He did super nicely for that, which kind of shocked me.
 Another thing we tried was leading. He will follow me around no problem, BUT as soon as any pressure is applied to the lead rope he “nopes out” pretty hard. I honestly thought we had leading in the bag, because he’s been doing so well lmao. Obviously not, so now I have a new thing to focus on.
