Follow Marissa's progress as she takes a wild mustang yearling and trains her in 90 days in order to compete in the 2008 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Ft. Worth, TX. She will compete against over 200 other trainers to take home the $10,000 prize. Quite a task for an 8th grader! She picked up her filly from Bureau of Land Management in June and has named her "Sexi Lexi." This blog will document her daily tasks, joys and hurdles as she travels down the road to the makeover.

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.
