Well, after getting in to Canyon City around 2am on Friday night and getting almost no sleep (who can sleep when you're picking up a new mustang the next morning), Bob and I successfully made it both in and out of the Canyon City prison and came home plus one mustang. And all I can say about this guy so far is wow! He's going to be a great horse. We will be competing in the June 2010 Extreme Mustang Makeover competition in June at CSU, and I have big plans for this little guy. He seems like just the horse for the job! He's incredibly calm, kind-eyed, and good-minded.
After getting home and letting him settle in, I decided to go ahead and work him with the bamboo pole. He did great with that and by the end of the day, he was accepting petting all over, accepting ropes on his body, and learning the basics of giving to halter pressure (a halter was put on him in the chute at the holding facility before he was loaded in our trailer). Not bad for day one!
