Ranchers & Riders 4-H BLM Mustangs

24/04/2024

This is a rather late post, but we would like to thank David Loos who bought our Ranchers & Riders 4-H BLM Mustangs Little Red at Idaho Horse Expo!
We would also like to give a shout out to Absolute Industrial and specifically, KJ Weissenbuehler, who gave EACH 4-H mustang a $300 add-on.
Both of your generosities will help send our horse teams to State Competition in Rigby in July. Thanks again!

The girls have been working with Ranchers & Riders 4-H Club spring mustang, Red, even though the weather has been a little rainy. They worked on getting her to side pass, trotting, weaving between cones, and walking over poles. Red did AMAZING!

Little Red made it to a Club riding meeting. She did really good with all of the strange horses. The 4-H trainers practiced patterns and showmanship.

These photos were from a while ago. With the bad weather and the flu bug that has been going around, the training has been slow going. The tag is off and she loves her scratches.
When the trainers were asked about Little Red, they replied she is very fiesty, independent, slow to start, but is really catching on to the domestic life.

The girls are taking it slow with all the mud. Safety is our top priority! Little Red has been eating out of their hands and enjoying some loves and scratches. This little filly is so curious! I, for one, can't wait for all of the mud to come off her so we can see the white on her legs.

Pickup day on Saturday was a GREAT day! After viewing the 9 geldings and 9 fillies from the Idaho Black Mountain and Hard Trigger HMAs that were gathered in September of 2023, the Ranchers & Riders team drew 1st pick! The team then chose a little sorrel filly from Hard Trigger HMA. When asked why they chose that particular yearling mustang, they claimed that "It had the best conformation".
