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.

Fly Masks & Trailering

Well, lately we've been doing A LOT of trailering! She's really good with it though! Lexi will just hop on in! We're going to get her a show sheet, so she'll stay nice & clean on the way down, etc. We have to find one first! We figure she'd wear about a 56". **hint hint** We did do the whole put on the fly mask for the first time yesterday, though! She was a little nervous, but it was ok. I got pictures, but I'll have to wait until tomorrow to upload them, sorry. We figured out we'll be leaving on the 16, then get there the 17 around noonish, or later. We'll sleep in Oklahoma. Of course there will be lots of stopping on the way, and she'll be loose so she can move or lay down or whatever. All in all, we've done pretty good. We need LOTS of work on trotting though! Gotta plan my freestyle performance, too.....Pictures to come tomorrow!!!
