A lot to get done in 90 days!

Oh my god! There is so much to do and so little time to transform a wild mustang into a confident horse that you can ride down the trail, and its not just getting him to be a great riding animal. You have to do so much to prepare him for his new life with humans. This is just a sampling of what we have to do to prepare our horses; leading, haltering, lunging, saddling, tying, picking up feet, getting him ready for his first trimming, riding in the trailer, loading and unloading, blanketing, bathing, clippers, grooming, fly spray, hobbling, being ponied from another horse, going through water, up and down hills, carrying weight, getting used to motorcycles, cars, bikes, kids, barking dogs, plastic bags blowing by, etc., etc. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface when it comes to riding. But with all this prep, it’s possible to get him ready in 90 days. Not always, because every horse is different, but Poster Boy is well on his way. It’s been six weeks since I picked him up and I'm getting really attached to him and it’s going to be hard to see him go.
