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.

Final Week!!!







Well, in 1 week (and 1 day!) we leave to go to Texas!!!! HURRAY! We've taken Sexy Lexi to the local arena a few more times, and she'll jog, back up, stand still while picking up all 4 feet confidently now! To think, a few weeks ago, we were doubtful we could even lead her by now! We took her to the vet today to get her health certificate & coggins. We'll have her coggins results by Wednesday. We did have the farrier out Saturday, but Lexi didn't get done. The farrier could pick up her feet, but couldn't hold it between his legs to trim her. DANG! SO CLOSE!!!! He said we probably won't NEED to have her done, but I think we'll try to get someone who specializes in mustangs to do it. I'll get new pictures here soon, I promise! So our show is Sunday, (local), then we leave next Tuesday......SO nervous!!!
