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.

Loads of Progress!

Sexy Lexi is doing SOO good! First, I lunged her. After we got a good start I decided to put some PVC pipe down for her to jog over. She did that no problem. Then came the tarp....Eventually (I didn't push her at all.) she went over it! By the time she was done, she was going over no problem! Later I even picked up her front feet! She didn't even care! I did it a few times, she could care less. She'll be a GREAT horse. We led her out and about in the yard, by herself. She was an angel. Then, we turned on the water. At first, she was little nervous. But, she stuck her nose in it! She LOVED it! She kept playing in it. I wish we got some pictures, but we didn't. She took it all in stride, very well. We went over to the trailer, and my mom opened & closed the door a bit (ours is steel & noisy). Then we went to see it. She was fine! We didn't push her to get in, just see it. So that was it for the night! Here's a pic. notice her new halter!
