Hi, I’m Jaylin Welch and I have a passion for training American Mustangs! I speciaize in working on respect and compassion in my training.

I also am a competitor in the Teens and Oregon Mustang Challenge.

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.

Sending love to all the veterans today❤️🇺🇸

Here’s a bit of a longer clip showing what we’ve been working on.
Lunging✔️ Flexing✔️ Sidepassing✔️ and picking up all four feet✔️
This horse has been one of my bigger challenges but I love his personality and his brain. He’s smart but so gentle. He’s never offered to buck or kick ever. What you can see from the video is he’s just a little skittish of everything. That will get better with time and more work. Anyway, enjoy!✨

Here’s a clip of his second saddling and moving out really well. I love his trot😍

Here’s a clip of me handling Lakota. He picks up his feet pretty well and we’re currently working on holding them for a longer period. I can also brush him all over. 🤍
He’s coming along well and we are currently doing saddling practice for the most part and handling.
He leads well and we walk from his corral to the big round pen. 👏
He’s very attentive to me and lunges and round pens super well and changes gates from my voice.✨

My favorite boy Loki💜

Today we got the saddle on and we had a good and quiet session. He’s starting to settle down and is comfortable with everything going on around him.

He also can pick up all 4 feet really well. His feet are pretty good so he won’t need a trim for a while. That way we can get more practice in.

I’m still working on getting videos up and clips on this page. Thank you everyone for following his journey.

Pretty boy with his lavender halter🪻

Slowly but surely building his confidence back up undersaddle👏
He did pretty good today with the nice weather and some quiet. He tends to work better when the weathers nice and no ones around.
Lakota picks up all of his feet really well but we’re still working on building some confidence with the saddle being on. 🤍
My plan is to take it easy and build a solid foundation on the ground before riding.🪶

Happy Halloween from Loki!🎃🤍

Update: We had a set back with saddling when we moved to the western saddle. It spooked him and he became afraid of being saddled so we’re starting the saddling process over again to have a better foundation for becoming a riding horse.

Day 5! English pony👏💕

Lakota is coming along really well, and he’s a thick boy! No reaction to the saddle but he is still on the sensitive side.

If you’d like to follow my youtube I’ll be posting videos there soon!⬇️

Day 3🥰

It’s day 3 for Lakota because I picked up on Saturday and didn’t get to work with him till Sunday.

Here’s a couple photos of Lakota!📸

Lakota can be touched all over, mane brushed, ba****ck pad on, halter switched, picks up front feet, leads, and lunges. ✔️
I also dewormed him today and he took it really well!
I’ll be posting some youtube videos of our sessions and the pick up but I’ll also post some clips from them here.

Lakota is a really sensitive guy which is hard to tell but he’s super smart and picks things up super quick. I love his brain and how he deals with situations✨
