And with that the show ended really well. I got a final picture in front of the show sign. I also got a picture in front of some very pretty flowers!

Our last event was 18 and over ranch rail. Him and I were getting pretty tired by this point and getting a little hangry so it wasn’t our best class. I ended up placing second in the class.
27/05/2023
Our third class that I showed in was the junior horse pleasure: 4-5 year olds. I could have shown him in the open pleasure but I though it was only fair to show in his age range of horses. He did really good in this class as well, he had a couple of rushy starts in the trot and was a little more forward in the one way of the lope. But, he was extremely consistent for a mustang with six ish months of training. He ended up winning this class as well and received a trophy for it too.
27/05/2023
Our second event that I did at the show was 18 and over English pleasure. This was probably his seventh or eighth time being ridden English so I was pretty pleased with him, especially with the kind of horses that he was with. I wasn’t riding him forward enough to have him be truely English but he did listen to me the whole time and never broke gait. He placed first and won a trophy in this class

This last Saturday I decided to take Johnny on a trip to his first show of this year, which was black and white days in Richmond Utah. It was a really good refresher show cause it was pretty low key but they had a festival going on outside so he got to hear lots of commotion and chaos. Here is our first event we showed in which was 18 and over showmanship. You may recognize this pattern because it’s the same pattern I showed at the other day Mustang Challenge. I would say he nailed his pivot a lot better than previously, he is still very sluggish on this trot offs, but for an immediate set up in front of the ring Stewart, I’ll take it.  We ended up placing second right behind a really nice all-around quarter horse. This class ended up having like eight or nine horses in it.

Sorry for no new updates, ever since we left in January for my dads extreme mustang makeover in texas, Johnny has been loving life being a horse on a very long 4 month long break. Today was finally the day to start him back in training, and man he didn’t disappoint. He walked up to me in his pen just asking me to put him back to work. He loaded on the trailer like a dream! He saddled extremely well and never offered to but or cause any nonsense! I’m so glad I was so consistent with him last year because I put some of our desensitizing crap all over him and he never missed a beat! What an amazing boy his is turning out to be!!!
Ps. Sorry for the dirty legs I washed his legs and body off after, due to the part of the water heater being replaced!

A couple days ago, one of our trainer friend graciously allowed us to raid his arena and work our mustangs over our obstacles. Now you may not believe me but this is basically his first time ever walking over the teeter totter bridge(the first time was literally a second before my mom could pull her phone out and video. He never batted an eye or even thought about veering of the bridge. I’m so happy in this little mans progress. He is still up for adoption so if your looking for a great partner then don’t de afraid to ask. 
20/12/2022
While at saint George I got the chance to help gain johnnys trust over the teeter totter bridge, he has never been to fond of the drop and tilt of the bridge(even the small wooden bridge on a log). After several days of me advancing him from walking next to it to walking over it I finally got some video, he is definitely figured it out and has relaxed a ton!
13/12/2022
This past weekend my dad and I decided to escape from the freezing northern Utah weather and snow, to travel to Saint George for the week to spend in more manageable weather. It was nice to relax for a bit, we stayed at rainmakers equestrian park and rode in there arenas, and on there connecting trails, and we even made a trip to sand hallow state park to play in the water! Johnny did great, considering it was my first time loping in water.
30/11/2022
After the competition Johnny got a few weeks off then we got right back to work. Two weeks ago, my dad wanted to take his mustang magic mare to a sorting to get her used to the noise and the commotion. Johnny and Cloudy worked really well on the cows!
30/11/2022
And just for fun I had my dad sign up and show Johnny in the open show trail! He did really good through the whole pattern, he did miss a lead but for having 40 rides it was hard to lope of on the right lead in such a tight area. He ended up placing sixth in the open division against yet again horses with a year + training on them!
30/11/2022
Drum roll please…….. 2022 Southern Wild Horse and B***o Trainer Challenge Champion is WFRShining ona dream aka Johnny!!!!!!!
I am so proud of how much this little boy put up with and how hard he tried every single time I asked him for something I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I also don’t think I would have had any better partner than my Johnny boy!
In the end I did decide to keep him and continue his training and boy I’ll tell you if you think he was cool then, he is getting to be extremely cool now! I’m kinda bummed he’s not registered so I could show him at the quarter horse shows I show at!
29/11/2022
For my last class of the required classes in the trainer challenge I competed in a freestyle class. It didn’t necessarily go the way I had planned but for 40 rides and my first time showing a mustang that I trained under saddle by myself I felt happy. I ended up placing first in this class out of the other three in the trainers challenge. 
29/11/2022
While at the show I decided to show in some extra not required classes like this extreme trail course. They set it up during the beginning or the first show day while we were showing showmanship and trail. When they are ready to start the class the have a competitor walk through where they tell you what the obstacles are and how many points each one is worth. There is not an exact pattern to the whole thing but you are trying to get as many points as you can in three minutes. So while waiting for my turn I had to decide which ones I wanted to try and which ones where to scary(for my standards not johnnys). He did amazing and handled everything really well we even ended up sixth behind horses that have competed before and have a year or more of training on them.
29/11/2022
Here is my second class that I got to show In, it was mounted trail. Johnny felt really good all the way through the pattern he had no bobbles and wasn’t scared or worried about anything. He tried through the whole pattern and never said no to anything(he never does). We ended up placing first in this class against the three other trainer challenge horses.
28/11/2022
Sorry for not updating in so long but her is johnnys showmanship run from the southern wild horse and b***o festival. When we arrived in Saint George, Johnny was more excited than normal so I made sure to ride him several times before show day, I apparently made him too tired which caused him to lag on his trot offs. We ended up placing first in this class out of the three other trainer challenge horses!
12/10/2022
Last ride before we head out tomorrow, he has become such a great partner! He has gone from reactive and flighty to mellow and content. I would love to see this beautiful boy continue with greatness and a loving home!
09/10/2022
Here is the trail video from the show, Johnny did amazing with it being his first time being ridden in this arena. My dad showed him first and he did amazing for him, he also tried really hard with me even thought I had a couple tiny pilot errors. Johnny ended up placing second with my dad and third with me. My dad won the division with dolly a mustang my dad has had for a year.
09/10/2022
Final checks before we head to the show Thursday. I attended a small little show yesterday and showed Johnny in the two handed division in showmanship and two handed division in the trail, I will post the video of trail in a later post. Here is a picture of the final placing of the showmanship class due to the videographer having technical difficulties of not hitting the record button. But he did amazing and won the class out of nine competitors.
05/10/2022
Today my dad and I traveled down to another friends arena to see how he would react to more different environments. He handled trotting next to the flags, pinwheels, and other decorations without a hitch.
05/10/2022
My dad and I have been taken Johnny out on trail rides and he has been so good for us. My dad has ridden him like 5 times and mostly just walking on the mountain. He has never really needed a courage buddy with him but we always like to ride with one just for the fun of it. He’s never been buddy sour so he walks away calmly when asked to. My dad also asked him to lope out in the pasture and he did phenomenal, noting that the ground isn’t flat and he stays one speed unless asked to speed up or slow down.

Johnny and I went to our first official horse show together. It was a equine trail sports competition where there are eight obstacles that you show your horse on. Depending on what division you wanted to show in you would decide what level you chose to show your horse off at in each separate obstacle. The divisions were novice (shown mostly a level one at the obstacles), intermediate (shown mostly a level two at the obstacles), and advanced (shown mostly a level three at the obstacles). He handled everything like a champ considering he’s an 100 day mustang. He attempted everything that I felt he could handle. I ended up winning newcomer the first day which was inhand portion of the show. Johnny ended up placing fifth in the advanced division. The second day had different obstacles and it was under saddle but he handled things well and ended up placing 4th in the novice division. For the entire show we ended up sixth in the intermediate division. Here are a couple of highlight videos I got. Ps every video is the first time ever seeing each obstacle, I ever got to let him see or practice on them.
29/09/2022
We went to a friends place today to get Johnny to see new sights and sounds, he rode the exact same as if we were at our place. We rode past the cows, goats, buffaloes, dogs, tarps, plastic and he had so much confidence that there was no reaction whatsoever. We rode over railroad ties and near a little paddle boat and he did great. I had to share this cute picture cause this baby cow was so friendly and wanted to say hello! About 15 days till competition time I’m feeling very prepared!
22/09/2022
Some pictures that one of my friend got at the quarter horse show I was at. I managed to take a tiny tumble of my old broke pony so I was pretty sore the morning I got this picture. I sat in this recline and watched the city trail. We had around ten or so horses and riders warming up right behind Johnny. He about fell asleep while I sat there for about half an hour.
14/09/2022
We took a big trip out of the arena and on a short trail ride all the way to the river. He had never been down there before but with a little patience we walked in with no problem. He even splashed around a little bit.
14/09/2022
Someone got a brand new pair of feet. He did super for his first time getting trimmed on.
31/08/2022
This morning we put our big boy pants on and trotted and loped off the lounge line and he did amazing (as expected)! Tonight I did the same thing and then walked in our indoor arena over some logs and up to the bridge, he placed both front feet on it with no hesitation! What an incredible boy he is turning into!
30/08/2022
Ride #4 (maybe, I’ve already lost count😂)
Every time I get on him my dad holds the lounge line to give him direction, confidence, and is an emergency helper if need be(has never needed this luckily), after asking him all three gaits both ways I decided to see how much steering I had so we unclipped the lead rope. He did amazing and turned in and out of the circle with ease. I’m so glad I waited longer and made sure all my ground work was done and understandable before jumping on him. He has never had a hint of wanting to roll around or buck.
28/08/2022
So I finally decided it’s now or never to swing a leg over this wild thing. The first picture is me getting him used to seeing me on the off side with some weight. The second picture was yesterday when I fully swung over him and asked him to disengage his hind end. Today I asked him to walk both directions and and he did really good, he has almost fallen asleep several times while sitting on him. I plan on taking him to my last Utah quarter horse show this week so he will get so much more exposure.
11/08/2022
Before I head out on our trip half way across Ed America I decided to get his teeth checked and floated. Johnny was amazing, he was a little cautious around everyone but he settled down super quick. He had a left canine so they pulled it out and took care of his teeth. Now his mouth gets a break while it heals.
09/08/2022
Here is a short little clip of the trail that we practiced. He is so will in to walk over anything.
09/08/2022
To say that I’m overly impressed with this guy is an understatement, he has surpassed my expectations for the first month drastically. I got the privilege to haul him down to my trainers for the evening to see how he would handle the commotion. I never was able to get a video during the busiest time but at one point there were six or seven horses being rode around him and he stood there like a statue and was so quiet and calm. I also played a little bit on the city trail course, there must have been around 20 logs there and he was so careful with his feet he never seemed to tick any. He stood on the pedestal for the first time and posed for a pretty picture. I’m so sad I have to leave him for the next week but I will be in Tulsa showing my dads quarter horse at the NSBA world show. With all the ground work I’ve put on him, Im not nervous at all that he will start back where I left off!
04/08/2022
This boy has taken leaps and bounds through the last few weeks. He did really great driving tonight considering I was videoing with one hand and steering with the other! He is also getting used to seeing me behind him which is helped him drastically!
03/08/2022
Tonight the weather decided to help me in desensitizing him. It gets super loud in the barn when the rain hits of the metal roof. He was a little nervous and tense but allowed me to saddle him patiently.
03/08/2022
Another update, we have also been working on saddling and desensitization. This is a huge improvement from being overly reactive. He has finally smoothed into the domestic life and I think he enjoys it pretty well.
03/08/2022
Sorry for not updating recently but a couple days ago I decided Johnny was ready to take a field trip down the road. He did awesome for his first trailer ride. I also gave him a bath and cleaned him up a little bit. He did amazing in a new environment and he hid amazing for the first bath of his domestic life!
29/07/2022
This little horse improves every single time I work him. We made our maiden voyage out to the bridges in our big pasture and he was so willing to walk over them. He also acted like a gentleman when the three very friendly horses tried to come up to him. I also have been getting him ready to accept a saddle these last few days and today was the forth day fully cinch(girthed) down. He walked trotted and loped with no instanceses of wanting to buck. Yesterday we also started loading into the trailer and it took him a minute to figure it out but we ended with two front feet inside. Today I tried to load him all the way in and he accomplished it with ease, he even turned around without wanting to bolt out.
28/07/2022
Had our first big trip out of the barn, he was a champ! We made it to our front gate and back to the barn several times, we even walked down to our front pens and he was awesome.
