Well, here we are 3 weeks into owning my mustang and he is already out on pasture. He is so worried about eating, this was one of the rare times he put his head up.
We also tied him up to a post. He wound around it and then unwound himself about 25 times. He did not pull on the rope once.
But as you can see, he is STILL eating. I'm going to tie him up a little shorter tonight.
I've groomed his mane finally! It looks beautiful but haven't got to his tail yet! He is so very willing for me to do anything with him!
But don't think it's all fun and games. Oh No! I tried to make him do circles with the lead rope on him and he did just want I have trained my 18 year old mustang Bo to do (but didn't want to).....He CHARGED AT ME! I am definitely doing something really wrong with this lesson and I will not do it again until a professional shows me the ropes...literally!
Later tonight.........
I tied him up to the post again. The only time he acted up was when his halter came loose and he had the side of it in his mouth. I thought he was chewing on the lead rope but he was trying to get the 'fake halter bit' out of his mouth! He was so funny! He stood perfectly still while I took his halter off, rearranged it, put it back on him, and then clicked him to the lead rope again. I went and drank a glass of wine and watched him and he didn't do one thing! Each time he pulled he moved right back into the post. Here's a picture of him trying to 'mindmeld' with the post. He stood this way for 5 minutes unmoving.
I couldn't stand to see him so sad that he couldn't move the post so I went and groomed him completely! Head to toe. I even picked all four of his little feet and held on to them before he wanted to put them down! IS IT ME OR IS IT MARTY!!!!!??????? Who Knows, but I sure am happy with him!
Does my butt look big with this horse?
