In a World Gone Wrong
Song by Zach Top
Oban is now slowly starting to except weight! I'm not going to rush the process especially because of how defensive he can get. I want Oban to feel safe and confident when I swing my leg over but until then we will take baby steps.
On another note check out how fast he learned the pickup cue!
He is going to be the coolest when he's finished! I have never met a mustang his size. Definitely one I would keep.

This past weekend Oban went on his first educational field trip! We went to my favorite obstacle course ever! Oban was extremely reactive but willing in the beginning. Oban learned during our session of training that nothing here will hurt him and if he would trust in me we could accomplish anything and everything.
This is Part 1 of Oban's accomplishments! Keep an eye out for Part 2!
Oban won third place for adult in hand! This is his first reaction to all of these obstacles. You are not allowed to practice on the course before the competition. All of his reactions are normal for a first reaction. Stay tuned to the videos after I worked with him. He is truly intelligent and just needed time to process.

Shorty makes the world's most perfect unicorn! I literally feel like I'm flying on this gorgeous Arabian. I think I've had the most fun putting this costume together!

Oban is truly intelligent I've been saying this for a long time that mustangs are one of the smartest breeds of horse. Oban did not like to be haltered or caught and now he is thriving to please. I'm so proud of him.

June Bug's journey in the last 18 months.
There is a first time for everything. June Bug and I have been working together over the last 18 months. I am so flattered with the horse she has become. I'm still shocked that she's only been broke for 18 months. This young lady has already taken the Reserve Class Champion title for 2024 as a Western Pleasure Horse. This video shows June Bug's first time moments leading up to her now.
Showing against quarter horses that have been bred to move like Pleasure horses and placing in the top... is mind-blowing. This gypsy was not intended to move and look like a pleasure horse. June Bug's talent and willingness to learn set her aside from her roots and is giving the quarter horses a run for their money. This brings me so much joy because it took a lot of hard work and dedication to get where we are now. I'm absolutely in love with how she turned out and who she has become.
June bug is currently being used as a lesson horse. Just to think about the lucky kid that gets to ride this amazing horse.
Something Like That
Song by Tim McGraw
Every year on Labor Day weekend is the Alexandria fair and horse show. I have been attending this fair ever since I was a baby. I try to participate in anything I possibly can to show for my county. This year I was able to show shorty in all of the Arabian classes. I had so much fun that I can't wait for next year. Here is shorty in Arabian Western pleasure placing second! I'm so proud of this big boy knowing this was his first fair show. He carried me with so much confidence and love. I am so grateful Marcel Smith was willing to share her trusty steed with me this weekend. I see not only beauty but the grace that this magnificent boy has to offer.

Last of My Kind
Song by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
I decided to test Titan to see if he would react. No doubt he had no reaction. This guy is truly the last of his kind or in other words one of a kind. He will take very good care of his little cowgirl once he gets a well rounded education.
