New project

Hello all. I'm working with a new boy.. My good friends' Karen and Amy have entrusted me with helping with their horse Ladd. He is very very "claustrophobic" I would call it. Being tied, saddled/cinched, mounted, trailered....all scares him to pieces. He came this morning and I round penned him a bit, and then just took my lead and wrapped it around his barrel, just to see the reaction. He is definitely scared. He whole body shook. So, I will have to take him back to the basics and see where I can go from there. Thoughts are always welcome...
