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.

We're Outta Here!

Ok, so not really. BUT, we did get out of the pens! We went in the yard! We took Lexi & our 25 y/o AQHA mare, Dakotah, out into the yard, across the rocky driveway, and over to the concrete pad! Then, we went over it! She was very hesitant at first, but she went over it fine! Of course we took everything in stride, not just all at once! But overall we did quite well. Really good for her 1st time out. I think we're going to take her to our local arena sometime. I NEED TO FIND A LOCAL SHOW!!!!! Please, if you know of one in the Springfield, IL area, leave a comment! But of course I can't work with Lexi as much starting this week because we start stupid school tomorrow! :( Ick. Ok that's all for now.....
