Kylie’s Mustang Adventure

08/18/2024

Little behind on posting from earlier in week.

Making more progress. Trailered to a different property today to work on desensitizing to other objects and sounds. Wasn’t sure of the sheep, but adjusted.

Lightening is beginning to understand lunging. He is not a fan, but is improving little steps at a time.

This sweet boy did very well yesterday at the WHYC training day. Traveled wonderful in trailer with another mustang to the event. Picked up the obstacles very fast. He started yawing towards the end and was ready to come home. He also had his first hoof trim earlier in week and did great. The fireworks did not seem to bother him on the 4th either.

Little trailer work. Yes he eventually decided it was ok to come back out of the trailer. 🙂

I haven’t posted in a while due to being at cattle shows and our county fair. Lightening is doing well. Still hates fly spray and we believe it is the smell of it because he is fine if we spray water on him. We have tried diluting the fly spray with water. Also tried a simple jump tonight.

Picking up feet and fly spray

Tried tying up and fly boots. Did well with tying, but does not care for the fly boots.

This little guy has decided the lead rope is not such a scary thing. Even ventured out of his normal pen to the round pen. Bonus video of last years mustang Spirit playing with her ball.

Spirit loves to be with Kylie. Hard to believe she was a wild horse sometimes. She has become a pretty amazing and gorgeous horse.

05/18/2024

Hard to believe Spirit was the same size as Lightening a year ago. They love to visit each other through the fence.

05/18/2024

Lightening made lots of progress today. He decided it was ok to be haltered, brushed, and fly sprayed. He even shared some kisses with Kylie.

05/17/2024

Kylie had a set back with Lightening, but he is coming around. Haven’t been able to get a halter back on him, but is close. He finally allowed her to brush him though!

05/16/2024

Time with Lightening and Spirit tonight.

05/12/2024

Kylie picked out her mustang today. This will be her 2nd year participating in the WHYC. She is off to a great start with this little c**t. She was able to get him to come to her and get a halter on him.

Spirit and Kylie say ‘Happy Easter’

Almost been a year since I went to pick up Spirit. It’s been incredible to watch her growth since I got her.

Spirit has had a couple of busy days. She got to go to a 4-h meeting Monday night and to a preschool today. Kylie and Spirit got to show off all their hard work a little.

10/09/2023

Spirit went and visited the old 4-h fair grounds tonight as she is going to the 4-h meeting tomorrow. Wanted to check things out before the meeting

Had a great first year experience with the Wild Horse Youth Challenge. What a great organization! Kylie has chosen to adopt Spirit and we are on the way home ❤️🐴. She received a 2nd in Showmanship, 6th in trail, 2nd in freestyle, and 4th overall! She also got an award for best kept stall. Missed some pictures with people who came to support her. Thank you to all our supporters and I hope you continue to follow Spirits journey. Kylie is looking forward to working with future Mustang.

Spirit adjusted and got some time in practice arena. She even decide it was ok to follow Kylie around just by voice command.

09/16/2023

Spirit is not too sure about this. Hoping she settles soon.

09/07/2023

Spirit got to spend the day with hundreds of 4th graders today at Kids Ag Day! She did amazing! She didn’t spook once around the different animals, farm equipment, or students. She was very well mannered.

Trainer gathering today in Haysville was a great thing for Spirit. It was good to have her around other horses and unfamiliar noises.

08/20/2023

Ashley and I Took Spirit and Kylie over to Lyons to use their facility. She did well in the new environment. Not real sure of the wash rack though.

08/16/2023

Not to sure about fly boots.

08/16/2023

Getting used to fly boots. Starting with front 2 first to allow her to adjust. Also worked on her standing while Kylie braided her hair. Sadly one of the hair bands broke.

Introduced a few more things this evening and of course took some more sunset pictures.
