Sexy Lexi's Road to The Makeover

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.

More Progress

Today I was able to pet Lexi's withers! She's getting more comfortable with the rope, now she lets me flip it all around & over her & she doesn't care. We started free lunging her in order to get her in shape in our short amount of time. She's VERY good at that! She caught on in about 5 minutes! She's making LOTS of progress! I think once we get her to overcome her fear of people, she'll come around really fast! She's doing great in the time I've put into her! She's gone from rearing in the loading chute to letting us pet her! So in my opinion she's doing good!
