After many years of training horses and many years serving the Lord. I started to see a pattern between the relationship we have with our horses vs. the relationship that God has with us. This blog is an off-swing of the blog that I started last year for the Mustang Makeover. My goal is to be able to share the daily lessons that God shows me through my horses. Little life, little Love, Little bit of horses. Forgive my spelling..God made me trainer not an english teacher ;-)

Fun day!
So today was quick but fun. I pulled Sunday out and went to go tie her to the trailer to saddle her. My 4-wheeler was parked very close to her and as she passed she stuck out her nose to investigate it. I allowed her time to look. I decided that I would climb on and start it and see what she did. She didn't move a muscle. As it was roaring she steadily touched all of it with her nose. It was almost like she had been waiting on this chance for awhile. I noticed that both mustangs weren't afraid of the 4-wheeler she seemed really interested in what it was. So as I sat there a minute I figured clicking it into gear and leading her off it wouldn't hurt. She even walked behind it where the exhaust blew at her and she just gave it a funny look. She led beside it like a champ as I picked up speed she trotted right along. I then took her out to the pasture and up the drive to my house and told Dan to video. She trotted all over. I was so happy to see that she was that interested. I took her back to the trailer and saddled her up. Today I worked on her mounting and bridling skills both need help. I accidentally kicked her in the butt mounting her a few weeks ago and it has slowly turned into an issue. It went from a small spook to a jump and run scenario the last few rides. She did way better after working with me today. The other big step for her today was I figured out a way to rig her bit so she won't get her tounge over the bridle. After the initial introduction to how the bit felt. I got on and began working on her face. She quickly figured out how to lower her head and travel around the pen she turned very well and stopped like a pro. I guess all I have taught her in the halter just translated right over to the bridle. Happy to see us finally moving into what I know. It is a challenge to constantly be on guard and reading them by each minute. Sometimes I wish they were just normal, but then I realize how much I learn because they aren't normal.
