Extreme Mustang Makeover - Round #2!

So I decided to make another journal to track my newest BLM Mustang's progress. This will be my second time competing in the Extreme Mustang Makeover and my third time training a BLM Mustang. In 2014, I came in 5th place out of 16 competitors - I competed with Rueger. My two Mustangs are currently 3 and 4 years old. (Will be 4 and 5 in May.)

Rueger is a 2012 model Mustang, he is currently W/T/C under saddle at home. Off property he is a whole different story - freaky and insecure. We're working through his problems currently and he is going into full time work in the coming week!

Asher is a 2011 model Mustang, he is currently halter broke and has been saddled numerous times. I had him to where I could lay over his back before I turned him out to pasture. He will also be coming back into work soon.

School and just life overall has gotten in the way of training, but now that things are smoothing out and I'm only weeks away from graduating from high school - I'm able to spend as much time as I need, to get this newest guy/girl (and my older guys) to become upstanding members of society. I'm very blessed to have this opportunity once again, and I can't wait to see who I get this time! Pickup is on April 8th and I will update then. Currently gathering supplies for this time around and deciding what my freestyle will be.

If you like pictures, you're in luck because I post pictures all the time. Hope you'll follow me on this journey once again! :loveshower:

I was wrong on the timeline, I'm picking up on Friday so only 3 more days! I'm very excited to see who I get this time. I have a few names in mind but I want to see what the yearlings personality is like.

Winchester is at the top of my list because Rueger is a brand of gun and so is Winchester. Maybe following a little theme?

I'm not 100% set on keeping this yearling, but we'll see! Unfortunately if I keep this yearling I'll have to re-home one of my other boys. I will probably end up re-homing Asher if I keep the new one.

Well I got a sorrel filly! She is solid except for a big star on her forehead. She's super scruffy right now, but is a good weight - so happy about that. Her birthday is April 1, 2015 so she is just 1 year old! She was rounded up during the Soda Fire last year, which is funny because we are only miles away from her homeland!

And guess what...

SHE'S EXTREMELY FRIENDLY! I've already pet her on both sides, and she's comfortable with us being around her. She turns in every time I walk away and has thought about following me a lot. I love her! I could easily attach a lead rope, but I'm not sure it's 100% necessary right now. I can walk up and pet her so I may attach it later tonight or tomorrow. She's actually starting to find comfort/safety in me, which I love!

Very, very happy with her.

And now of course for pictures.

She looks like a Remington, to me. Remi for short! I know a registered Arab mare who is the same shade of chestnut as your girl, with more chrome, whose registered name is "Remington Steal."

She's adorable!
