gentling a mustang: Day 1

We got home at 8 p.m. last night. Got my horse settled in and went in his pen to see how he would react. He is very calm and let me walk up to his face within 5 minutes. I was petting him down to his withers within the half hour. I left him alone for the night, and went out this morning to find out he has an infection is his shealth from being gelded. So he got his shot of penicilan this morning and he took it like a champ. I will be keeping a close eye on him and giving him some exercise.
He is a 5 year old and is from Hogs Creek HMA near Harper Oregon. He is 15hh.
