Things are going slow but I am loving every minute of it! It's hard to not push harder and for more since this is a 90 day competition but I know It will pay off to take my time at the begining with this mustang. He has so much character and I know he's got a huge amount of try and he really wants to team up with me. He is also trying to see if nipping at me will get me to go away--LOL! though its not vicious at all-- I love his demeanor
It's day 2 and I am only scratching his neck and whithers with my hands and yeilding his hind and front quarters and directing his movement somewhat. I would like to get his number off today and be able to touch him all over.
AppleJack is a lot of horse and he is very sensitive but unlike my last mustang he really wants to try and join up with me!! It's very exciting =)
I don't have a video camera, camera, horse trailer or truck this year so I am more dependent on friends and family to help me out. I am also working full time this year so I hope to be able to keep up here on my blog but I am not making any promises.
updated 9pm= I was able to touch him most everywhere tonight with just 20minutes of work and I got his number off his neck=) Then he came over to where I was crouching--sniffed me real good and just sat there with his head low just chillaxin next to me for about 10 minutes--(in a corner that he's never comfortable in!!) it was really awesome!
