Day 1

Well I got my mustang today it is a gelding, he is about 16 months old and he is a bay. Today we loaded him into the trailer after the people there put the halter on him, he just stepped right in to the trailer no problems. On the way home we took a few rest breaks and each time we looked at him and he was just standing there.
When we got back to the barn we pulled up to the round pin and unloaded. He just walked out of the trailer and into the round pin.I worked with him in the round pin and Mark helped me. I got him so that he could turn both directions and lead a little bit. I also got to touch him and rub him all over. When the other mustangs arrived they opened the garage door and he was fine with it. We also had to lead him to his pin when they arrived.
Next I rode Bunny and worked on slowing down her canter and making her strides shorter.
Then I went back to work with the mustang. I got his halter on and off, feed him hay, feed him grain, feed him treats and taught him how to use the automatic water tank. I am so excited to show off my horse to the rest of my family!
Listen to what the guy says at the end of the video: That wasn't even a challenge!!
