So much for 6 ft high fences to contain mustangs….
Thank God she doesn’t have opposable thumbs and that this gate only goes to the boys’ paddock and not to the outside. lol! Love my wild one, Feather girl.

What a day. I took Angel to the trail obstacle competition at the horse park by herself. She loves to do obstacles. It was an interesting day-50 degrees and very windy. Angel was a jerk! Balking, bucking, rearing, snorting, spinning -until she got to the obstacle, then she calmed down and performed flawlessly. Bridges, mail boxes, mattresses , hula hoops, big bells, and pulling a boogie board thru a pond. She did it all, but the trail between obstacles was more than a little hairy. Good thing God makes the naught ones cute. Then, I came home, switched horses and took out Feather on the trail. She was perfect. I definitely needed that white claw. Feather thought she needed some, too.

Angel dressed like a lil English pony today…. It feels so weird to be riding in an English saddle. And yes, my stirrups are wayyyy long.

What a fun day working cows with Feather and Kelly and her horse, Bravo at Mike & Diane Feister’s place. Both horses were great! It was Feather’s first time on cows and she made me a proud mustang mamma.
Then, I came home and Angel did a performance for friends of our neighbors who had horses many years ago. Everyone was astounded at the amount of tricks and skills she has. She’s such a ham! They’ve never seen any horse do all the things she does. Another proud mustang momma moment. ❤️ my stangs!

Angel loves a “white claw” after a trail ride.

Today is such an exciting day for Ranger, the horse I trained for the MD TIP Challenge last summer and his adopter, Cynthia. Today, he comes home from the trainer that has had him for saddle training. I am so excited to watch this next part of their journey together. This morning Cynthia sent me the link to the song I used in my freestyle with him. It brought tears to my eyes. He was the most difficult, untrusting mustang I’d worked with-that, coupled with a significant injury during the pick up process at the BLM facility which, literally, left him dragging his right front leg when he came off the trailer at my facility. All that gave him no reason to want to engage with us humans. Yet, with healing time and gentle training he rocked the competition. Our freestyle was a literal dance to Lindsey Stirling’s beautiful song from Pete’s Dragon. That beautiful dance with Ranger, the 1000lb red wild horse will remain in my heart FOREVER. There’s nothing like a true connection with a large sentient being with a mind of their own who doesn’t have to do what your asking and could refuse at any time, but moves in sync like your one with them. He made me so proud and happy.
Cynthia fell in love with Ranger at first sight. She was willing to take him even if he never came sound from his injury. That’s commitment right there! I can’t wait to see Ranger and Cynthia’s bond strengthen even more as their journey under saddle starts. I know I will see them dancing on the trail together in no time.

Yesterday was Feather’s turn for a clinic. She totally rocked it, making me one proud mustang momma/trainer. She never flinched at any of the obstacles and handled an arena full of horses like an old pro. Love my wild ones. 🐴❤️
It was great to see some other mustangs at the clinic too. That doesn’t happen too often. All of them represented the wild ones well.

The mustangs are so much braver than my domestics. I’m using a drill to remove the plexiglass windows and Feather came right into the stall to see what all the noise was about and stood with me the whole time. I think she wishes she had opposable thumbs to really help out.

This Angel is wicked smart! Today I started sending her away from me at liberty to go around a cone which will be the start of a figure 8 at liberty. This short video is the first time I asked her to go away from me and around a cone at liberty after removing the lead line.

My lil wild Angel is amazing. Today, while I was doing my barn chores she wouldn’t leave me alone. She offered trick after trick until I couldn’t ignore her anymore. So, we went to the classroom (the round pen) and I decided to start to teach her to bow. I stood next to her and picked her front leg. As soon as she relaxed the leg, I rewarded her. Next time I picked up the leg, I asked her to rock back. She leaned back an inch, so I gave her a treat. The next time she rocked way back and, put her knee down and rested her head on the ground in a full bow! AMAZING!
Love this incredibly smart freak of nature!!
