Hailey's Mustang Project This is my journey gentling a wild mustang.

Follow me on instagram as I work to form a connection, desensitize, teach ground manners and begin basic training to prepare it for auction at the East Idaho State Fair.

Today was a very emotional day! Zoe got to come back home to be a permanent part of our family and herd. ❤️🐴❤️

It was a crazy fun day today at the fair. We had the mustang trail challenge, the freestyle show and talked to lots of people. These kids have done amazing things with their mustangs. It’s so fun to see.

Yesterday, Hailey practiced bridges, platforms and poles with Zoe.

Zoe heads down to the fair today to get settled. Come out and see her and the other mustangs at the fair tomorrow(Friday) and Saturday.

Friday is the Mustang trail challenge at 11:00AM at the Infield East Arena.

The auction/adoption is Saturday at 11:30AM. Spread the word. We are hoping to adopt Arizona and bring her back home, but there are other wonderful mustangs looking for their new family. These 4-Hers have done amazing work with their mustangs.

Hailey made a “car wash” on Zoe’s gate. I don’t think that she is afraid of it. What do you think?

The state fair is coming up next week. Hailey figured it was time to introduce Zoe to the clippers. She did pretty well. Hailey did not clip her yet, but with this filly, she has learned to take things slow.

Hailey worked ponied Zoe yesterday. Zoe is responding very well to verbal cues.

It may seem like it’s a little late, but guess who finally has her halter off?!?!

Today we practiced changing halters. In the end Hailey left it off. Zoe is finally trusting enough to walk up and get caught. She has become much more friendly just since the county horse show. She doesn’t run anymore when we go in her pen.

Slow and steady is what works for this girl.

Hailey and Zoe did in-hand trail at the Rigby 4-H horse show. It was definitely not perfect, but now they know what more they need to work on. I love how Zoe trusts Hailey.

Come out and view the mustangs from the 3rd to the 4th and cheer us on at the in-hand trail challenge.

If you are interested in adopting one of the mustangs, fill out your BLM form in advance to make things go faster at the auction.

We got to meet up with some of our fellow mustang friends at the Rigby 4-H show today. Zoe did really well in showmanship and the in-hand trail class. She needs to work on side passing, but we are so proud of her. She stood tied to the trailer all day from 7:20am to 5pm. What a trooper!

So I know that you guys have seen Zoe get in the trailer, but this time she got in and backed out. She loves to back up. It’s been her way of getting away from stuff she didn’t want to do since day one, but now her great backing skills have helped her out in getting out of the trailer. 😁❤️👍🏻

First time loading in a trailer

Today Hailey got Zoe to get in the horse trailer. This by far was the easiest thing to do with her. For some reason she likes the trailer.

Kissing Zoe

Hailey is trying new things everyday. Surprisingly, Zoe let’s Hailey get close enough to kiss her with her face, but not with her hand.

Zoe is more afraid of people than the tarp, but progress was made today! She would actually run under the tarp on her own.
