Here we go again!!!

Kevin and I will be competing in the Extreme Mustang Makeover held in Albany, Or. in June.
We picked our 3 (yes 3 as Kevin is doing two for a chance to win a saddle.) On the 30th of March. He got a 5 year old mare and a 3 hear old gelding. I got a 3 year old gelding. His mare is from Warm Springs HMA which is where our first mustang(Katie) is from. His gelding is from Jackie's butte. He is 14.2hds tall as a 3 year old so he will be big. My gelding is from the Barron valley complex(which includes horses from Sheepshead HMA and Hogs creek HMA) He is about 14hds tall as is Kevin's mare.
So we have 90 days to gentle and train these horses. The beginning is going well. I am petting my gelding all over and Kevin is petting his gelding on the forhead. The mare is a liitle tougher!
I will post updates as often as I can.

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.
