Welcome to Unwild! I am a new Mustang owner and I want to share my journey with you! Stay tuned for

>Part 1<
Yesterday was the day I've been waiting on for a while. We drove down to see Baylee and had a great visit! And the big news... I FINALLY got to sit in the saddle and ride her. I finally got to ride my Mustang! Baylee was amazing undersaddle. She moved nicely, framed up when asked, and overall was just a happy, willing horse! Camille's Mustangs hopped on first and showed off what Baylee has been doing in her training. W/t/c, stops, spins, backup, simple lead changes, polework, and recently Jumping! Baylee was a super good girl and quickly figured things out. It was a HOT day yesterday so she definitely got tired quick, but still worked hard for us. Once I got on, I don't think I quit smiling. She stood perfectly still and was a nice ride. She was a tad sticky in the walk and trot, mainly for transitions. But oh boy her canter was the best! Her transition was great and her canter was super smooth and nice to ride. I could not be happier with how her training is coming along and how our visit went. I can't thank Camille enough for putting her time and hard work into Baylee. It has definitely made a difference in her performance so I'm super pleased! "Dressage Baylee" definitely shines now! The last slide you can see her getting her early Halloween costume out as she pretends to be an Andalusian. I can't wait to go back and get a couple more rides on her and hopefully the weather will cool off again.

When you train your mustang to load in the trailer and now she wont come out 🤣!
Roadtrip!!!! We leave tomorrow (not announcing for what YET)! Baylee's first time seeing the trailer for a while.... she has been so good! She has become quite happy in her box and settled down a lot since yesterday. The trailer has been parked by her pen so she wasn't to spooky about it, besides the noises of the doors squeaking. We did a little liberty refresher on yielding her shoulder and haunches + backing up which she happily did! She also got a good bath a couple days ago and her coat is soooo soft now! I can't wait for tomorrow!

*September 21*
I finally got the vet out for Baylee's first appointment. She did so good! She practically went to sleep for her vaccines and blood draw for the Coggins.
*September 28*
I brought Baylee back into a light work session, mainly working on getting her forward. I did have a couple poles laying around and she got very excited when trotting over them. She jump it the first time she went over them and threw in a couple bucks from excitement.
*September 29*
I lunged her again and worked on transitions. She did really well and didn't get quite as excited. She did w/t/c and cantered really nicely on a loose lunge line!
*September 30*
Baylee was lunged once more working on slow her down to a walk. To end off with something more fun and interesting, I popped up a small cross rail and she went straight to it! Jumped over it nicely too! I eventually built it up to a 18"? Vertical and she once more jumped it beautifully. She knocked it down once and didn't have any reaction which in the past she would have started bucking. Progress!!
*Today*
I braided Baylee's thick mane and tried to get it to lay on the right side so I can see her freezemark. Now to see if it'll stay!!
28/06/2022
So if you looked at the picture first you can tell that is not my Mustang! But dont worry cause it is all about Baylee! I don't have any recent pictures so meet my liberty Mare, Melody (4yo American Shetland)!
Anyways I saw video of String testing her Mustang! Well I decided to see what Baylee string tests too!
I measured with a 2-sided tape measure that is not perfectly matched up 😅 so I got 2 slightly different numbers. One being closer 15.3hh and the other 16hh! When i started searching for a Mustang I definitely wanted/needed one that would grow to this height so let's up her string Test is accurate!

Look at her go! First time jumping a vertical!

Wow a full year with my first Mustang! It feels like a picked her up a couple months ago from Paul's Valley holding facility. I'm so thankful to have gotten this filly and how amazing she is! Baylee has taught me a lot along the way and continues to do so. I do hope to get her in a more regular training schedule while I'm on Christmas break and progress her training a lot more over winter! A HUGE thank you to all my supporters, family, and friends who have been with me and my girl. Happy 1 year Baylee (and to many more!) I put a YouTube video up of our year together! Link below:

Baylee got groomed today and I finally got her mane on one side.... well atleast long enough to get some gorgeous pictures of her!
14/11/2021
This is what happens when I set my whip down and my Mustang picks it up before I can! 🤣🤣🤣 Baylee has so much personality! She had a good lunging session yesterday and today we had a quick session. We worked on yielding her forehand and haunches. She has gotten really good at yielding her haunches. As of now we have to break down the process of turning on the forehand. When she takes one step (crossing over in the front) I click and reward. After She picked that up we move onto 2 steps. Then click and reward. Today we also worked on going both directions. We got a few sidepassing steps in as well. Enjoy some fail photos and her smiling in the last photo! (Video in comments)

Guess who got her first trim today??!! Baylee was absolutely amazing for the farrier and we had no issues. Our farrier was very patient with Baylee and we took our time to make sure it was a good experience. Baylee was very level headed and a very good girl! We only did her front hooves as I wanted to end everything on a good note and she can still be flinchy with me handling her hind legs. I'm so proud of how Baylee tried so hard to please everyone! She got lots of treats during and after her trim too!
Also enjoy the last photo as a fail 🤣 I was trying to get a picture of her hooves but she kept trying to eat my phone!
11/10/2021
Just a pretty Mustang getting some well deserved grazing time! Baylee has been doing great lately! She is lunging well, picking up her front feet (a bit flinchy with her back but nothing bad), yielding her haunches, and changing speed and direction on the lunge line. Also we are having the farrier out this weekend for her first trim! I think she will handle it really well too! She is also getting much better about going in and out of her pen so hopefully I can get her to the roundpen soon!

I was having one of those days with stress from school. Baylee definitely made me feel better this afternoon. She always finds a way to make me smile when I'm feeling down! What would I do without her?! She is my outlet from school and stress. The best kind of outlet! She knew I was really upset today and just let me love on her and cry when I needed to. She knew just what I needed. I took a long break and spent several minutes just petting her. Then she got inchy lol always making me laugh! 😆 she loved her scratches!!

Just got back up to the house. I gave Baylee a good rinse even though it isnt as hot today. This time I put the sprayer on the hose and she LOVED it! I was even able to rinse her back legs off without her kicking at the water 😂. And did I mention NO halter?! This is the 3rd time I have rinsed her off and the second time with no halter/ropes. She just stands there! She is one mustang who really loves water! Lol.... I put the sprayer on mist and shower, using mist on her face and shower on her back/legs. And then she had to go roll right in front of me less than 2 mins later 😭😂 well I guess at least she felt comfortable enough around me that she would lay down with me so close by (see video in comments).
29/07/2021
Today Baylee got another rinse. For the most part she did really well. Thr only time she starts to back away is when the water runs down her back legs... Thats when she kicks (yes she is kicking at water 😂). I did end up having to lunge her a bit mid session as she wasnt paying attention/wasnt fully focused on when I would try to lead her a step or have her stand still. After that I rinsed her off some more, ending that on a good note. Then we worked on some leading exercises. She doesnt exactly walk quickly on the lead rope so we worked on stepping out quicker, halting beside me and not getting behind/ahead of me, and backing up. She use to have a really good backup but lately she has gotten lazy in it. So now we are gonna be working on those exercises for the next few sessions. I also got some nice pictures of her freezemark, which you can never have to many freezemark pics! 😉😂
28/07/2021
Baylee was absolutely amazing today! I was able to lunge her w/t/c over a single pole (her jumping it the first time while cantering not really understanding it's a ground pole 🤦😂). She also had some good changes of directions, which is something she does not like doing, but after a few times she relaxed and did some great changes! I even gave her her first bath! Well more so just rinsed her off... But it counts!! Lol. I didnt even need the leadrope and eventually just took the halter off! As long as I would quit before she would start to backup and let her drink from the hose as her reward, she would just stand there! So so proud as I wasnt thinking she would like the water but maybe she took to it a bit quicker since it was hot temps and she had a good workout beforehand!
Enjoy this fail video since I didnt get any pics or videos... I saw somewhere that if you put apples in your horses water trough it would keep them entertained. Since she has a big trough it turned into a big fail 😂

Fly Spray Desensitization - Today was another session with the water spray bottle. I decided to video it. As I explained in my last post, Baylee did not like getting sprayed! She would run away from it. I wish I had videoed her "before" and "after" but I at least have the "after"! She did really good today. Only stepping away a couple times. PS if you watch to the end and see me spraying her face 1. it is water NOT fly spray and 2. it is a mist and jet setting. the sprayer was on mist to a light jet setting. She actually quite enjoys the water on her face lol!

I have been working with Baylee on lunging a lot lately and she has improved so much!! I can now ask her for a stride or 2 of the canter which I didnt think we would achieve for a while longer! I am also going to try and give Baylee her FIRST bath soon and will give an update on how that goes. Today I cleaned out her stall and afterwards I thought I would give this amazing tip/trick a try. A while ago I asked about getting a horse use to fly spray. The picture is what she replied back with.... I tried that out today. Just got an empty spray bottle from the store and filled it with water. Baylee absolutely will not stand still for Fly spray and it has been a struggle for a while. Today using the water filled bottle I was able to spray her neck, back, legs, and chest with her standing perfectly still. I worked with her on this for probably about 20ish mins. So in one session she went from a horse who would not stand still if she even saw the bottle, to a horse who stood perfectly still with the lead over her neck letting me spray her all over. Why I didnt think of this sooner I dont know but thank you for the suggestion!
*Edit*
I just gave Baylee her evening feed and decided to try the fly spray. When i walked in her stall with the different bottle she knew it was fly spray, her ✨enemy✨ 😅 but after a couple mins she let me fully spray her with it! And even let me do it without the halter!! Only after ONE bottle of water and she is already 100x better!

Baylee has been absolutely AMAZING lately! Lunging has been such a struggle with her and a couple days ago I think something finally clicked in her mind. Since then she has begun to really understand what Ive been asking of her while lunging. We've worked on going w/t (and today canter on accident lol), halting quicker, voice/whip cues, and changing directions. All of these things have improved so so much just in the past week! I am also starting her sidepassing, well trying to! 😅 she does good with crossing her front legs but she just doesnt understand to combine her backend with the movement of her front 😂. But I think she will get there soon enough! Today was the first time that she has been introduced to water! She loves to play in hee water trough so I took some water out of that and splashed her (she loves it 😂). It's kinda a game to her lol! Then I got the hose and she immediately started drinking out of it! But while I was getting the hose, she rolled 😭😂 I sprayed her left shoulder/leg off and a little on her right side. Then she started to get uncomfortable so I let her drink again, sprayed her leg once more and ended it on a good note. I'm going to (TRY) giving Baylee her first bath sometime this weekend if I feel she's more comfortable with the water.

Long time, no post 😅.... Baylee just had a GREAT lunging session! She still gets kinda dramatic about it but I think I have figured her out lol! We had a good 45+ min. session. She did fight me a bit at the beginning, as I am working on getting her to move out and not stop. At the end we got a good few laps, long and low at a walk! Which pleased me soooo much! I think we have had a major breakthrough and are finally understanding each other more! 😀 Afterwards she got her evening feed. Since I was still in her stall she was giving me the mare stare, as Princess Pony did not want to be disturbed during her dinner 😂
24/05/2021
Had a good lunging session with Baylee today! Sorry for the lack of post lately but it has been rain, rain, and more rain lately 😂 still working on getting her more forward, sidepassing, and pivoting! also throwback to before I got Baylee! Look at the difference of her coat color! (First picture is from December 2020, second picture is yesterday)
04/04/2021
Happy Easter everyone!! Just had a quick session with Baylee. She did amazing! I was able to pick up all 4 feet with no problems, lunge her (and actually get a good trot out of her lol), refreshed on the back up, and jumped around (as if to get on her). She stood there like a champ and was a total angel, though she thinks she is one all the time! 😂 love this stang!! 💙💙🐣🐰
02/04/2021
Yep definitely a "wild" horse! Baylee got to play with her jolly ball and act like a goof all day lol! This mare has such a great (and goofball! 😂) personality! That first picture I think is one of my favorites! She looks so gorgeous (but of course I'm a bit bias since she's my horse) 😍😍😍

So we are about to deworm all the horses, including Baylee, and since she hasnt been dewormed in a while we decided to prep for it. So I heard of this trick for horses who havent been dewormed before or can be difficult. Anyways its putting applesauce into a syringe (or thats At least what I used) and getting the horse use to having that in their mouth. Welp she loves apples and now applesauce! 😂 This is the third or fourth time I did this. Also got a picture of her freezemark cause I just needed one lol! Today she let me go sit with her while she was laying down! She never flinched or tryed to get up. I was so happy cause I know she would have never let me do that if she didnt conpletely trust me! Love the special moments like that! I wish I had gotten a picture but didnt have my phone! 💙💙

Day 89 with Baylee! Sorry the lack of post but with school and the weather it has been hard to get sessions in. We worked on lunging today, getting her to move out. Also trying to get her more forward in her trot. She did very well in the end and had some great transitions just with a vocal cue (something that we worked a lot with too today). Super proud of this girl since she has been out of work for a bit!
13/02/2021
Look what I just got!! My custom cap with Baylee's name, freezemark, and HMA. It also has gorgeous horses galloping on one side.... I got it completely customized to what I wanted and I am in LOVE with it! It is so soft too (which I wasnt expecting lol) Thank you so so much KR Northwest for my cap! 💙💙

Day 51 with Miss Baylee and we had our second leading session. Yesterday she got the day off since I was gone most of the day for my riding lesson. We worked on leading, flexing, a tiny bit of lunging (mainly to see what she does with her "woah" cue), and walking over a pole for the first time. Sadly no video/pictures today but I hope to get a video this weekend sometime. Also I updated my profile picture (pictured below)! Had some fun afterwards with the other horses doing some liberty too!! 💗🌟🐴
25/01/2021
Day 48 with Mustang Baylee and we had a GREAT first session on leading!! Oh what my girl tolerates from me 🤣 my mom gave me a new cap today and so I decide to put it on her 🤦 but she was very good with both cap and leading today lol. Could I have gotten a better first Mustang?! Nope!! 💗 and of course she got to play with the jolly ball and tried to sit on it.... again! 🤣🤦😒 videos in comments (FB doesnt let me put photos and videos in a post together 🤦🤷
21/01/2021
Oh my dorky stang! Not her first time seeing the jolly ball but it is the first time she has played with it. I cant believe (well I kinda can) she tried to sit on it! 🤣🤣🤣
19/01/2021
What is happening behind me?! All I wanted was a cute picture of us together but no! 🤣🤣🤣

Day 41 with Baylee and she has (finally!) allowed me to put the halter on! I got it on her twice yesterday but forgot to post. I put it on her and was able to adjust it to fit her more properly. Let her just walk around her pen, get use to it, etc. Afterwards I took it off and then put it back on. This time I got the lead rope and snapped it on. She followed me around a bit with no pressure from the halter but then I did put some pressure at the end because that is something she definitely needs to get use to!
10/01/2021
More Snow Day pictures I just took! Baylee is loving the snow! She is having a good time playing! Lol
Dont mind my squeaky voice in the video (in comments) 😂
10/01/2021
Snow Day!! First snow we have seen this winter in Texas!
03/01/2021
Day 26 with Baylee!! Worked on getting the halter over her nose, and self haltering! We are trying out a different technique then what we started with and so far it seems to be working!
https://youtu.be/6J5GQzjuUI4
03/01/2021
Baylee finally took a treat out of my hand for the first time this evening!! I have been putting them in her night time feed and she seemed to know what they are! Sorry for the bad video but it was to get her to take the treat AND video with one hand! 😂 Baylee is also get much better about me petting all down her head and hopefully means she will get better about the halter. I still have only got it on her once before. For day 25 I am so happy with her!
28/12/2020
Thank you so much .page for doing this of my girl! I love it so much! Go check her page put cause she has some awesome artwork like this on there!
