We have had two training lessons this week with him. Dad tried desentizing him the the rope(from Clinton Anderson's method)... he really didn't care. So I guess that means he's going to not be a shy horse. I worked with him and a saddle blanket, flopping it around him, letting him smell of it, and flopping it onto his neck, back and hindquarters. He really doesn't seem to care for any of it. I guess he's so good about it because he was hand raised and isn't scared of anything. Dad got him to stand at the end of the rope and come when called(I told him that he isn't a dog LMAO)... but he is pretty good at it anyways. We'll probably be lunging him next to see what happens. That means I'm going to have to find the 20 ft. lead rope 
. I think he is going to be a great horse in the future. OH, I forgot to tell you that he let me lay all of my weight on his back ( I was leaned over his back with my feet off the ground). I did it on both sides and he never moved once... Good baby! He's a sweety and I believe he'll be a piece of cake to train... just like Mystery! He'll be saddle broke by fall!

He should give you no problems during training. If you have the horses love & trust, then you are 99% there in your training. 
If you need any help or advise, do not hesitate to ask me. I really love what I do, and love to see horse & owner have a good re-pore ;D
