gentling a mustang

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Santana is coming along so nicely! He started eating grain on the second day and will do just about anything for a taste. He tends to have a attitude sometimes. He will put his ears back when he's tired of something, but never acts on it! I did sit on him several times today, but Lisa somehow didn't get a video of it. He doesn't care much if I get on him. He loaded in the trailer several times and led outside his pen. Every day he is a changed horse. He really needs a bath, he has some rain rot. Too bad it's so darn cold out, and Lisa won't let me bring him in the house for a shower! He is going to be a neat horse. He won't be anything like Princess. He is more business, she was more about being a PRINCESS. He has a williness to do things and takes it in stride and looks for what is next. He reminds me of a ropers horse!

Princesses Bio

I am a five year old mustang mare from the Beattys Butte Heard Management area. I was rounded up from the wild in the fall of 2007. I spent a year in the corrals in Burns waiting to be adopted. Finally I was chosen for the Extreme Mustang Makeover to be held in Albany, Oregon on March 21st. I can be adopted by anyone who qualifies by the BLM to be an adoptee. I am 14 hands tall. I love people and love to go trail riding. I like long walks on the beach and grazing on pasture. I am gentle and easy to ride. I am not afraid of anything. My full name is Sapheara Warrior Princess. If you would like to meet me you can see me at the Expo.
