I got to work with some of my personal projects today. Granny (donkey with the tag) is a 19 year old b***o that I picked up a few weeks ago. She has taken some time to settle in, but she is starting to accept some contact. My kids and I share Fiona the younger donkey. It was Isabell's first time leading Fiona all on her own. Fiona loves kids and is the best donkey. Last but not least I had some time to work with Otto (Palomino). It was his second time ever ground driving and his first time with a bit. He did great! I can't wait to start working him with the saddle soon.

All the donkeys got their halters on today and they each had a leading session. I was also able to brush on all of them. Dutchess let her owners come up and pet on her today after I had a leading session with her. Edey decided to roll on top of me while I was brushing Ivy. These sweet little girls are doing great!

I was able to halter two of the babies yesterday! The one helping me halter is a bit needy. She's in your business all the time. I've had so much fun with these little ones so far. Fiona's fly sheet got delivered over the weekend. Mom had to do some alterations, but now it fits!

I have so many updates to post! Many mustangs and b***os are coming in for training over the summer. If you are interested in adopting a mustang or b***o this summer/fall, please send me a message. I will be making another trip to the facility in a few weeks. For now, let's welcome these four little cuties. They will be with me until they are gentle and ready to go home with their adopters.

I've been waiting for my buckle to come in to make this post, but Fiona and I won our competition! I'm so proud of this sweet little donkey. I have some exciting things planned with her this year. Thank you, Annie MacDermaid, for hosting this virtual b***o challenge. I want to thank Amber and Isidro Espinoza for hauling this sweet girl to Indiana. I also want to say a big thank you to my mom for filming all my classes and helping watch the girls while I work my horses and donkey.

I got some new Haychix nets! Haychix was having a buy 4 for $100 sale a few weeks back and I just had to get some more. I won one of these nets in one of my competitions and I absolutely love it! It's the easiest hay net I have ever had. I have started stalling some of my horses for part of the day again and I've began using some nets for their hay. I've been using one Haychix and the others are just your atypical hay net. The Haychix net is so much easier to fill up. I can open the entire net and lay it down on the ground then I set the flakes in the center and bundle it up. No more fighting to squish the hay down into the nets.

Here are some photos of Josie and Willow I never got around to posting. I am so proud of these two and their horses. They both did a wonderful job for their first mustang challenge. I hope to be able to mentor more youth through the mustang training process and show.

Sonora update

This little mare has been working through a few things, but I feel like things are starting to click. She's wicked smart and is going to be such an amazing mare. I definitely see something special in her. Even though it's taken her a bit longer to embrace domestic life, she sure is starting to see that it's not so bad. Sonora knows most basic skills and some obstacle work. She is very light on her cues and she learns new skills quickly. I'm ready for the weather to warm back up so we can start using the round pen again. Our next steps are to work with the saddle pad and prep for ground driving.

Fiona completed her classes for our virtual challenge! She handled everything well and I'm very happy with how our classes went. There were a few baby donkey moments during practice, but we got them fixed and we're able to do our classes. Fiona is a big sweetheart with a bit of a spicy attitude. When we were getting ready to film the freestyle my mom thought we should use the pony saddle. I had only ever had the surcingle on her. So for her first saddling to be for the freestyle I think she did really well. I also forgot our pony pad says spicy. It's definitely fitting considering the sassy attitude she gives on the occasion.

Meet the new mustangs! We brought home two new mustangs a few weeks ago. The gelding is a 5 year old blue roan from Adobe Town, Wyoming. He is a clients horse who I am helping her with the training process. Emily has done everything herself so far with some coaching from mom and I. She ended up naming him Flint. He is a super sweet gelding with the best temperament. He is very chill and has transitioned into domestic life very well. Emily has him halter broke and doing a few ground work things. He is also going out to pasture with some other horses during the day and is doing great! The mare is a 4 year old from Adobe Town, Wyoming. I picked her up as a project horse and she will be looking for the perfect home in the future. She is pony sized and I think she will make a great kids horse one day. Currently she is still trying to decide if domestic life is good with her. She's beginning to enjoy my presence and she's learning things quickly. I can halter her, lead her, move hips, back up and we just started on lunging. I'm very excited to share the progress of both of these awesome horses.
