Sexy Lexi's Road to The Makeover

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.

2 Steps Forward!!

Hurray for Lexi!!! Today I was just planning on getting her used to the rope being rubbed all over her, as she was scared to death of it before! But, since she got over that in about 2 seconds, I decided to take the next step, controling with the rope. You put it around her neck and hold the ends. It's a 30ft braided nylon rope (very soft). So instead of 1 step forward, we made 2!!! HURRAY for Lexi!!!!! So all in all, I'm VERY proud of her progress in about an hour's worth of work! (Sorry for poor picture quality, took w/ my cell phone!) Next step, petting all over her whole body, but I think we can do it in just a matter of time.....
