This post is coming from Kristin, Marissa's mom. The girls are doing wonderful. Marissa works with Lexi several times a day and is making good progress. She uses a 10' bamboo pole and is now able to rub Lexi all over without her flinching. She didn't like her legs and neck until today, but she has finally given her the ok. This little filly is so funny! She loves to have her neck scratched, and shows it by curling back her lips and making the funniest face!

She loves her grain and is very curious whenever we are outside. I think if she had our undevoted attention, it would be fine with her.

Doing Better

Lexi is getting a little more friendly. She get jealous when I work with the other 2 mustangs. She'll stick her head through the fence! Apparently I taste funny to her because any time I touch her nose she curls her lip up in the air! She's a sweet hart though! She's putting on a little weight too. Now she lets me pet her whole face & the tip of her neck, but doesn't like that to much!

We have Touchdown!!!

Lexi let me really touch her face for the first time today! About 15 minutes of training for the day, she was letting me pet her whole face! She loves it & kept coming back for more love. All in all I'm pretty happy about the horse I got... :-)

The Beggining

Well, we brought Lexi home yesterday. She's a brown (almost smutty buckskin) yearling filly. I will be taking her to the Extreme Mustang Makeover: Mission 007 in Texas in September. She's completely wild now and my job is get her trained to lead, pick up all four feet, and load in a trailer. Today was her first training day, and we got her to stand to be rubbed all over with a pole. She also will touch your hand. She's a good lookin' horse compared to some of them there. Wish us luck!
