Mustangs, love their babies 🥰
Rain & her momma got this desensitizing stuff down now. Time to move onto the next things. 😊🤠
Rain & her new momma doing work yesterday. They definitely have a great bond together already. They will go far together. 🥰
Mercedes desensitizing. We still have some work to do on this subject. Shes a bit spooky and flighty. 🤠
More groundwork for rein. 🤠
Look who made it to the round pen today after a few days on the patience tree. 😂🌳🙌🏽
That patience tree is magical. 😂✨🌳
Now that I got her attention , it’s time to get to work.
Deathrow finally learning how to be a horse and relax and trust that we have his best interest at heart. 🧡
30 days ago I would not have put my 11 yr old daughter on him. She walked right into the stall and he stood there to let her catch him, then he stood to be saddled, moved a bit when getting on but stood still after and then did everything else with grace. I think we have made a break through and it’s all up hill from here now😊🙌🏽.
We’re making some good progress. He’s starting to trust me a lot more and isn’t as spooky around me and my movements.
Dove gets to see her mama tomorrow. I told her she better behave or she will have to stay with me longer, we’ll see if she heard me or not. 😊
Believe it or not we are making some progress. 😊 He is learning everyday to trust me more and more. I can clean his stall and him just stand there, I can feed him and him not jump away from the door when I walk up to it, I can walk up to him and rub him and saddle him without him putting his guard up and trying to paw at me, I can walk around him with the stick & rope and him not budge at all. He has made so much progress since his first day. His progress may not look like the others but that’s because what he needs is so much different than what the others need. Every horse is different.
My favorite saying is, “We don’t work at our pace, we work at their pace.” 😊🤠
Ya’ll meet your next horse trainer.
She is 2 & she can wrangle the wild out of any pony you have & ride the hair off of them. 😂😂 All while only wearing one croc & her cowboy hat with baby shark shorts. Haha! 🤣🥰🤠
Apparently heartbreaker thinks he’s on vacation 😂😂
Eli & heartbreaker enjoying their ride 😊
Last week heartbreaker was scared to go through this area, today he went through with no problems what so ever. 😊
Laid her down again today. Just can’t seem to kick that attitude out of her. 🙄🤦🏽♀️ She does fine in the round pen but as soon as we go out she wants to stop and throw her fits and jump up and not move those feet. So today after I laid her down I let her stand in “time out” to think about her actions.
Mustangs, they sure are built different and they are definitely not for the weak. 😅
We shall try again tomorrow. I’m not giving up on her just yet!
Brick by brick, day by day, we are making slow progress.
Desensitizing for this boy & he wasn’t a fan of it but we’ll get better the further along we get and more we do it.
Some horses will test you.
Some horses will teach you.
And some will bring out the best in you.
Today Dove got laid down. She’s got a bit of a stubborn streak and when we’re riding it comes out and to avoid developing anymore bad habits along the way I laid her down to avoid that. We will see how she does in a day or two. 😊☺️ She’s the sweetest mustang ever but it had to be done.
