Hehe. <BR/><BR/>It's funny that you did this because way down here in Aus I was doing the same thing to my Bundy boy, perhaps even on the same day. MAYBE EVEN THE SAME TIME!! *mind boggles* Except mine was with an oil-skin raincoat and it's taken me 5 years to do it. He has had it on his back twice in an unexpected shower of rain, but never really thrown around like his rider was wearing it. I didn't know what the expect though because when I first got him he was scared of oil-skins, even scratchy jackets he didn't like.Geckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869977105238208893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-56467165335009609612008-12-11T09:34:00.000-08:002008-12-11T09:34:00.000-08:00I'm a new lurker--lurk over at the Kiger boards al...I'm a new lurker--lurk over at the Kiger boards although not so frequent. My wild one is now with a trainer and so I've been fascinated with all the mustang blogs.<BR/><BR/>Mari was captured at 3--came in with a healed broken shoulder, which left her with a club foot. My understanding of her history was she was only adopted because she was pregnant. The stress caused her to abort and things went downhill for her after that. <BR/><BR/>She's in Oklahoma now, and I've been semi-successful with her using clicker training while waiting to find a trainer I could trust with her. We just don't have many mustang-savvy trainers here. But hopefully I've found the right fit. <BR/><BR/>Sadly the stress of moving her and training caused her to collic on her 2nd day with the trainer. It was pretty mild, but scary!! <BR/><BR/>Anyway--I'm really enjoying Steve Holt!'s progress, he sounds like a winner!Brooke Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06177241637323666700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-74337693321620533832008-12-11T08:07:00.000-08:002008-12-11T08:07:00.000-08:00Katie, he's part tall, and it's part angle. He's ...Katie, he's part tall, and it's part angle. He's roughly the same size as Jet, which is 15.3/16 hands. <BR/><BR/>Lulu...you're a lurker??? Come into the light, dearie, where we can take a better look at you!<BR/><BR/>Linda, I work short sessions. 15-30 minutes, twice a day. I know some folks put in more time than that, but it's all I really need as far as hands on work. The rest of his 'training' is just me plunkin' around, filling water tubs, cleaning stalls and general stuff that lets him get used to me hanging around.<BR/><BR/>Karen, thank you. I find him to be quite handsome. Can't wait for that somewhat worried expression to vanish!Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369244473889348601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858836779457163540.post-34263411770125222602008-12-11T07:36:00.000-08:002008-12-11T07:36:00.000-08:00You're making fast progress.

Be aware SH! might like a good bounce about in the high winds ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'll not mention the 's' word purported for Friday night and Saturday and I have my judges outfit washed and ready (long johns, thermal under shirt to go over long jonh top, then turtle neck, then polar fleece, then down vest, lololol.....wishing I had a pair of fleece lined jeans! Hand warmers for boots and pockets to keep fingers from freezing, and BIG coffee thermos for between classes, lol) so I'll not say the "S" word but will be interesting to hear how SH! takes all the crazy weather forecast headed our direction.<BR/><BR/>He really is coming along nicely if he decided he could approach another human he doesn't know! I guess I better get my sorry self over to visit him soon too! :-)Cave BlackFyrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11457518463868482780noreply@blogger.com
