•  She will take the pad and walk around quietly and has progressed to a bareback pad with stirrups dangling.  She's doing well with the bareback pad, going at all gaits in the round pen with stirrups bumping her and she's now being bitted up as well.  Next, is trying the saddle!
• Loading in and out of the trailer quietly and calmly.  I've put her in 2 different styles of trailers and she's doing very well. Loads within 30 seconds or less.   It's best if you walk in with her right now and we're working on her loading up alone.
• Catching her in the pasture is no longer an issue.  Pearl seems not to like men very much. I have used 4 men as guinea pigs to try her out.  Only one would she approach or let them approach.  And he was the most quiet, horse savvy one of the lot.  To catch her (as a female) you have to play a little game of follow the leader for about 20-30 seconds before putting the halter on.  She will walk straight up to you, smell you, and then - if you walk off - she will follow and relax.  I stop about 3 times, pet her, and walk off again.  Then I'll put the halter on.  Seems to work well for her confidence levels.
• Lounging on a 20 foot line, walk, trot, lope.  Turns to face you at the stop.  Walks to you if asked, otherwise, she will stand quiet in place.
• Picking up her feet.  All 4 feet now!  She's doing fabulous!  I can pick them with a metal hoof pick, tap on them like the farrier, bring them forward to sit on the rasping stand for both fronts and backs.   The rear feet are still going to be touchy with her with new people probably.  The farrier did come out and did get the fronts done, but was too impatient with her on the backs and we had a bit of a setback, but next time, she will be more ready.    In the future, to facilitate trims, 1) try and find a female farrier and/or may have to 2) sedate her lightly to help her relax.  Her trainer feels they've made great progress with this though and she should not need it. Again, with new people, she may revert some.
• Bathing - she's fine for all over her body now, if you go slowly.  Initially, after day 6 of "intro to water and hose", I her trainer was able to water her front legs and shoulders.  She progressed with this and has even played in the water a bit the other day.
• Setting back.  This is a biggie for Pearl when scared, but she's no longer exhibiting this behavior in training!  She started the setting back with handling of her feet.  Her trainer was surprised when she did it, considering she hadn't shown that tendency with initial work.  Her trainer worked on this issue with the horse-friendly "rope around the girth" method to help stop this behavior.  She may still present this behavior when someone asks too much of her too quickly however.  If she does this, that's her version of "slow down please, not quite ready for that"! 
• Worming her went well.  Simulating shots into the jugular vein is going good.  When we pulled her Coggins, she was on high alert with pressure on her neck, so I do it daily to desensitize.  All I do is palpate the jugular with pressure on the neck and tap a few times, right and left sides.  She doesn't care anymore.
• Brushing of mane and tail are easy; however, doesn't like her forelock brushed.  Has set back once on that.  I do it daily to help her relax and not get scared.  She's 50/50 on the forelock.
• easy to catch
  trusting of others, including men
  trailer loading/unloading
  tying with no setting back
  bathing
  farrier care
  lounging
  taking the bit quietly
  full acceptance of a bareback pad with stirrups
  partial acceptance of a saddle

Pearl's trainer feels she's not cut out to be a riding horse, she's just not trusting enough at this time.  Perhaps over some years of an adopter working with her, she might be rideable, but this is really an unknown.
