From trainer Olivia Van Beek:
Smokey has progressed nicely the past couple of days, having a pony horse has been the best thing ever to get him moving forwards under saddle. He currently has 4 rides walk/trot and hopefully will get his first loping ride in the next couple of days! He is so incredibly smart that he know exactly where he wants to stop and he stops right there 
which isn’t the best thing but his smarts sure help with his progress! Smokey is going to make someone an awesome little pony someday!!
