I love my lil guy!!! Steen's Valero! He is really starting to trust me! By the end of this week i am hoping to be able to take off his halter and rehalter him. Also i am hoping i am able to pick up his feet!!! Hopefully the rain will hold off tomorrow so i can work with him some more!!
 
Ok so I have been working with Val (My mustang that has EPM)lately and she has progressed wonderfully!!At first she was scared of a lot of objects now....
Picture
She would stop at least 15 feet away from the trailor and now....

I also did some bareback riding with kahlua and we cantered for the first time ever bareback!!! At first she needed an attitude adjustment then she was good.After that we went down to the trailor to practice loading.I said "trailor" and she stepped right in! I was so proud of her!!!!
 
 My horse and i  worked on trick riding yesterday it was great!We did around the world,(for those of you who don't know what that is it is when i swing my legs around the horn and sit backwards on my horse's neck then swing around the horn again and again and again)i stood on her while she was moving, acted like i was going to flip of her but just hung there with my feet straight up in the air.What was really funny was my horse is really lazy and she put her head down and i slid right off her neck! Pictures to come!!!!
 

Sorry i haven't been on in a while things have been crazy!Well anyway i went out in april to do a photo shoot with the mustangs and here are some pictures i got.

That 'Lil' snot! She got into my Cookies for them!

 

   Okay so today i go out to play with my mustangs and i see my Mom's mustang laying down.So i went over to lay on him and he is only like 1 and a 1/2 years old.
Well i took a video of me laying on him (I can't download any pictures or videos off my phone cause i do not know how, but i am trying!)After he gets up i have the brilliant idea to pull his leg back (without one of those leg ropes!)and hope he lays down.He didn't ,but he kneeled!My mom was sooo sad she did not get to see her "baby" kneel for the first time! Cross your fingers and hope we will be able to lay him down before he is too big of a lug to  Let us lay him down!

Here is a picture when we first got him! He was a scruffy little thing!
