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.

MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!!

We had a major breakthrough this morning!!!! I went out to feed Lexi, and dumbo got the drag lead around her neck (just hanging over it, not like strangling her!). So I went in to get it back correctly. I got that done, no problem. Then I decided to love on her a bit, you know, scratching her forehead, givin kisses, etc. Then, SHE LET ME PET HER WHOLE NECK!!!!!!! I was SOOOO excited (& still am!)!!!!! Then I moved back to her back & she LOVED it! I wasn't brave enough to go to her rear end, as my brother isn't awake yet. I went to her other side too! I'm just SO EXCITED!!! You can probably tell that though! LOL! So I fed her then ran in to update this! I'll work with her more later today and see if I can get a different lead rope on her. She got hers all gross & muddy! :-)
