I do need to come up with something a bit more comfortable for him and was thinking as he gets his balance better maybe he can go in a buddy seat behind me. We will see but for now he is still okay up in front. As he is only 5 months he still can't walk along for very long but that will also come as he gets older.
In regards to desensitizing my horses. All I can say that it is many miles of riding, wet saddle blankets and making sure that every scary monster or obstacle that you come across is introduced and explored. Also, having their trust and being the leader makes a big difference as they are accepting of anything that you ask. Dakota is especially accepting and I call him my "Star Trek Horse" as he bodly goes where no horse has gone before. He accepts any kind of vehicle, heavy logging equipment, chain saws, blowers, musical bands, all animals, sirens, lights, helicopters, parachutists and even had a remote control plane flying over our heads once. He is quite special. My other horses are pretty much the same but like to stop, look and assess more often. My husband and I laugh because we purchased a quarter mare 9 years ago and had her shipped over from the US. She is a daughter of a 3 time world champion reining and cutting stallion. Guess what? She is scared to death of Swiss cows in the field with big bells. But, in the arena she'll work them fine for cutting and team penning work. Who would figure.
Jenga is quite cautious around the horses when on the ground which is good. It is funny how he can pick up on a "stink eye" and know where his place is.
Trident my Tri-color 3 year old, love him

I can understand why you LOVE
️ him! He’s a basenji and he’s GORGEOUS! ️
-
Tris are special and they know it !
-
Very handsome, but my neck has a crick in it from trying to see the pictures. Right side up instead of sideways would be nice! (I'm not picking on you, many people just upload without changing the orientation, but not all of us are using phones to view!) Enjoy your special boy!

@zande - Oh for sure... they have an attitude! But they are so much fun! As are all Basenjis....
-
️ him and his name -
What a beautiful Tri-color Basenji,
-
@mjohnsontrident I like the picture in the backyard. True Basenji... the master as he surveys his realm.
-
Love the name! He looks kind of like my Mr.T (only T doesn't have any white on his nose). From one tri owner to another, your basenji is very handsome................just don't tell T know I told you that! Its an older photo, but T is very much the spitting image of this photo even now.

Oooh so lovely. I’d love a trident pup. Would you happen to remember breederMs name and details? I’d like to get on waiting list.
@basenjimom2 gorgeous dog. I’d like to get on a waiting list for a tricolor. Do you recommend anyone?
Thanks, Lorraine -

Trident is a PERFECT name for your beautiful boy!!!! He is perfect! Thanks for sharing his pictures.

I wish I knew how to change the orientation of the pics, so sorry. The breeder was amazing, @LSilvers1 @basenjimom2 but she hasn’t had puppies since trident 3 years ago. Congaro Basenjis, beautiful dogs she has.

It depends on what software you have available, e.g. on my computer it took only a second to do this with Windows 10 picture tools.
If you are using a phone, it would depend on whether it is iPhone or Android. And you can also do it on line.
