Today was farrier day…Bridger stood like a perfect gentleman & Guinness met the farrier for the first time. He had a similar reaction as Bridger did for his first time. Major stranger danger. I was quite certain Guinness wasn’t ready for an actual trim, but thought making friends with the farrier and being handled by him would benefit him. So I spoke with my farrier ahead of time asking if he would be up for that, offering to pay of course. I don’t know too many farriers that would be, very thankful for our farrier. Anyway by the end of the melt down, a little “skiing” Sam was able to have him stand quiet and lift his front feet. So over the next 6-8 weeks I will keep working with him even if just 15 min a day and hopefully next visit Guinness will be ready!

Wanted to share some crazy ivermectin results 😳

I had been reading about people putting ivermectin on their dogs tumors/cancer spots and how they’ve disappeared….

My Cremello had a small sarcoids on his sheath that I had my vet check out, we planned to have it removed when fly season was over but I figured I would experiment because, why not? I gave him ivermectin orally and applied it to the sarcoid maybe 2 times? First photo was May 6th, second photo was today June 2nd. I was washing him today and notice it looked loose so I picked at it and it crumbled right off 😳 how crazy is that?? I’m going to apply some more and hopefully it’ll stay away🤷🏼‍♀️ time will tell, can’t wait to show my vet🙈🙈

Here are a few tips for those of you trying to build confidence with your nervous mustangs. These are just a few things I try to do with mine. Hope it helps.

Building confidence in a nervous mustang isn’t about forcing them through their fears, it’s about helping them feel safe enough to work through them.

• Keep your energy calm. Calm people make horses feel safe. If we’re anxious, frustrated, or in a hurry, our horses often reflect that right back to us.

• Give them time to observe. When introducing something new, allow your horse time to stop, look, think, and investigate. Not every challenge needs to be approached head-on right away. Often, letting them explore something at liberty first can make the process much easier.

• Use repetition. Confidence comes from familiarity. The more positive experiences your horse has with something, the less intimidating it becomes. Don’t be afraid to revisit the same lesson multiple times.

• Don’t rush. Give your horse time to process what you’re asking. Mustangs, especially, often need a moment to think things through. Slow is usually faster in the long run.

• Always end on a positive note. Find something your horse is doing well, no matter how small, and end the session there. Confidence grows when horses leave a lesson feeling successful.

Remember, confidence isn’t built in a day. It’s built through hundreds of small moments where your horse learns they can trust both you and themselves.
