Added Pictures

This is all new to me but I'm learning as I go. Gavin is busy building Roy's trust and giving him some courage. He round pens well and comes to Gavin now but that was a job all on its own. Gavin felt that once Roy let him touch him the training would speed up a bit. The wind and cold stopped the training this afternoon and tomorrow we have a search in the morning and Joe is doing a domostration in the afternoon. Gavin will be showing "Pockets" our wonder Mustang. Joe trained him in the Extreme Mustang Makeover. We were a little discouraged when we heard Joe had been riding since the second day but we know Joe and was sure he would do great. He has a way with these Mustangs. We can only do the best Roy will allow which look like it will be pretty good.

Picked them up

Gavin and Joe got home safely with their new mustangs. Joe had a heap of trouble followed by a heap of help to make his trip happen. We have named our mustang Roy. We wondered what we had got ourselves into as we watched about six mustangs loaded for the trip home. All of them seemed relatively calm for the experience. Then came Roy, he reared up 3 or 4 times I though he would go over the top. He grazed himself above the eye. They got his halter on and in the trailer he went. The trip home was great. (nothing happened) We pulled into the ranch after dark and unloaded Roy. He honks alot. Anyway the next day Gavin tried to get close and by the end of the day he still could not touch Roy. He would lead but from a distance. By the end of Tuesday Gavin is able to rub him almost all over. Will keep you posted. I am going to try to post pictures of our guy. Hope everyone is doing well.

Joe was a trainer in the first Extreme Mustang Makeover. He and Pockets placed 16th. My husband (Gavin) and I purchased Pockets. The Western States Mustang Challange sent out application. Joe and Gavin along with a number of others applied for the upcoming event. They will be two of 30 trainer taking a Mustang for 90 days, training and competing with their mustangs at the Western State Horse Expo in Sacramento on June 6 - 7th.
