OK. I don’t have pictures but we are wearing a saddle, bridle, bags, tarps, and all sorts of stuff. Even had a rider on her today just moving her around. We lay down, and we have a temper, but I am still able to outlast her. She is a great mover, and going to be a super sweet horse. Hope to get the camera to behave to get some photos of her……..

Saddle Up!!!!!!

Jumped her thru cavalette’s, backed thru poles, over poles and got her saddled. She is quite a handful and has a terrible stubborn streak, but I am way more stubborn.

Check us out….

Got a surcingle on her today and then a blanket. She hates everything I do to her right now. We are working on our relationship. Hee hee.

Playful lady

Got her out of the stall yesterday. She walked right up to me out in the arena. Wow. Lead her around for a bit then right back to her stall. Left her in most of the day today. Just turned her out this evening. She is onto me. Had a little discussion about going back to our stall. Flipped the lead rope over her back and she bucked it off. Not sure if that is a good sign. Hee hee. Tomorrow we will work on roping her legs and swinging stuff around her. So far so good. Still loving her.

What a great horse.

Finally figured out how to get the picture up of her. This was at pick up

Very excited about Envy. Got her hair all combed out. Picked up both front feet, and cleaned her stall twice today. Can’t seem to get her to leave it yet. That will be tomorrow’s project. She is a sweetie.

Day Three

Well I got to touch her all over today with my stick. Then I got to pet her all over. We discussed her ratty mane and decided it would be a good project for tomorrow.

December 5th Solbritt and I picked up my mustang for the Northwest Extreme Mustang Make over. Check out the video and the pictures. She is something great. Very sweet, calm and curious. Not to mention very pretty, too.

Wow Time has just Slipped away…..

To all my faithful followers I do apologize for not blogging on poor Mini Bea. I decided instead of sitting in front of the computer I would spend a bit more time with my toosh in the saddle. It has been a crazy winter, but to all who aren’t personally involved with me and my wonderful mustang; here’s a quick update………..

Bea was a bit of a challenge to start. She (as you can see from her picture) is quite a looker. She is not bashful to tell you that she is beautiful every chance she gets. After the first two weeks of having her I knew she had a lot of potential that would be fun to tap into. Since then she has surpassed all my expections and then some. Her willing and forgiving nature has been an asset on our road to the Challenge. Due to the fact she is only three, patience hasn’t been her strong suit, but her energizer bunny personality helps get a lot accomplished each day.

I mainly wanted to blog people to tell them that this mare would make an outstanding show horse for a small or young lady. There is nothing this mare wouldn’t do for anyone. She loves people, and loves to work, go new places, and strut her stuff.

I am not sure if I will get another chance to blog before the competition, but if you haven’t already planned on being there in Albany, Or on March 21st for the adoption of Bea and other great mustangs you will be missing out………..

Bye Bye Abe

Bitter sweet news. I sold Abe to the most amazing older gentlemen. He has been looking long and hard to an Abe, and now is deeply in love with him. Abe and I are doing one last horray together this coming weekend in Eugene. Wish us luck.

Hopefully I will be blogging again about another horse in December as I applied to partake on another Extreme Mustang Makeover Challenge. I will keep you all posted.

CASSI

PS. To all my sponsors I am working on a thank you gift. Please give me some time. I do want everyone to know how much I appreciated the help getting to Texas.

We are home, but not for long……..

Well, out of a field of over 500 applicants, I was chosen as one of the 200 trainers to compete in Fort Worth. 200 horses were picked up in June, and 165 showed up and were shown in Fort Worth this past week. Abraham and I finished 33rd overal. Not bad for our first attempt at training a mustang.

The competition was tuff. I would say I had to be one of the few whom had no experience with mustangs, and now am proud to say I would sell all the rest of my horses and fill the pastures with mustangs. These animals are amazing. Oh, maybe I should say, Abe came home with me.

You can go to different sites and read all about the competition. I would love to tell you more, but I am out the door for yet another rode trip today. Abe and I are going to Enterprise, OR (10 hours from here) to do a woman’s retreat. I am taking Abe to shoot off of, and to let others ride, and to show off my boy. I am hoping he doesn’t see the trailer and run. He has logged over 4000 miles in less than two weeks, and has quite a ride today.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped me on my journey. I would do it all over again, it was a dream.

Love Abe and Cassi.
