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.

The Results are in.......


Ok so we competed yesterday! She was doing great in the warm-up, and practicing the night before. While we were waiting to go in the warm-up arena, she laid down & went to sleep. It took A LOT longer than expected because some contestants couldn't figure out that a) you have to wait your turn b) GET TO THE ARENA BEFORE YOUR TURN IS THERE!!! Lexi was still ok, I didn't like the body conditioning judge, he was grouchy, but that's a different story. Of course she's getting a tooth in, & she doesn't like guys. So anyway, she was scared to death when we got in there. She walked over the poles fine, then wouldn't jog over the others. The judges were very nice & tried to help get her to jog, (she did eventually), then she did ok @ backing up. The 270 degree turn was BAD. We weren't set up right to do it..... She didn't jog very nicely around the cones, & spooked at the jump I had taken her over a million times before. She picked up her feet GREAT! She stood ground tied for me, too, she I got a good score on that. She walked right into the trailer, no problem. So, she was just being grouchy. Hopefully she'll find a good home today. We're heading out here in a little bit to go to the auction!
