Big Loki boy on the teeter totter💛

I’ve been hang out with him instead of doing training sessions recently, he doesn’t do well under pressure and is a horse that will start going backwards with too much work.

Luckily, I have a lot of time to work with him and he’s been doing much much better. So I’ll do a couple days just grooming and sitting with him, and then I’ll do days where we do a training session.
He is now undersaddle but I’m not trying to push that process too much. He had a great first ride with walk and trot. He loads the trailer amazingly and had his feet done.

He is scheduled to get his teeth done, I checked them and they were pretty bad so I’m excited for him to feel a bit better.🫶

Standing tied and turned out!
(halter didn’t stay on, he just had it on to practice catching him a couple times)🫶

He also had his hooves trimmed and did pretty good, he gets nervous around other people. But he warms up quick.

Day 50✨ First Ride!!

A lot of updates to be posted soon! Lakota had his first ride which was very successful with walk, trot, flexing, woah and backing.
He’s also able to be turned out in pasture and has been for awhile now, he loads in the trailer excellent and he can stand tied. Love this guy💛

Day 47🫶 First sit!✨
He’s finally coming around to domestic life🤍

Loki learned to load today, didn’t take too long for him to hop in but he needed some encouragement. He’s the best boy!

I won’t be trying to ride him just yet, still polishing some ground work and getting him more settled first since he’s a very sensitive horse.

I checked his teeth the other day, so he will be getting them done when he’s quieter and can be hauled out. Also, he will be getting his feet done in the next week.

Hopefully after his feet are done we can start going into getting him undersaddle💕
He’s saddle broke and has all tip requirements done just taking things slower with him since we’re not in a time crunch and he is a slow pace horse.

Lakota has been doing pretty good, saddled and let’s me hop up in stirrup but I’m still gonna take it slow with this guy. He’s pretty sensitive but at some points needs a bit of a push.

We’re trying to get over a hurdle currently, when lunging he likes to kick out at anything behind him such as a rope behind him. So we’re working on that because I don’t want him kicking out if something happend to get around his behind while I ride or if I’m walking behind him. He doesn’t kick out at a stand still though only while moving out. I’m working on this because I want to be able to ground drive him and have him yield to pressure by the rope being around his butt.

On the upside, he doesn’t seem to mind tarps at all and just walks on over them. Soon I’ll be working on getting different things over the saddle that make noise or are heavy as if I was in the saddle.

Also, I taped him and he’s not 14.2 hands he’s actually exactly 15 hands tall.👏

I love this horse and he has a trim scheduled for December 3rd.💕

Getting cozy for these cold and wet nights🤎 What a good boy.

So proud of Lakota today!👏

In the picture you can see there’s no stirrups but we moved up to saddling with them on! I also stepped up into the stirrup today because he was so calm. ALSO I brought out the tarp expecting him to be terrified but he couldn’t have cared less and walked in over it. I love that he puts all his trust into me and what I ask.

The difference between him and other mustangs I’ve worked with is he trusts me enough to follow me and trust that wherever I can go, he can go too.

He’s a very smart boy and he loves to please.
He has been my favorite mustang to work with so far because he’s been a bit of a challenge but I love the challenge😉

I noticed he started eating his grain today. He’s settling in and getting comfortable with everything and I can work with his feet so looks like a trim might be soon.

All 3 mustangs I’ve trained💕

Lakota, Chiloquin and Rune.

All of them have taught me so many different things and I’m grateful to have trained them.
