Throughout the next 12 weeks I will be posting my progress with my yearling mustang, Vesta, and posting on important issues concerning America's wild horse. This blog may run longer if I decide to keep my mustang.

I'm in charge.
Like the title says that is what our past few sessions have been about. Vesta has attempted to bite me a few times telling me to move away from her food. This disappointed me at first but then I realized that this meant I was part of her herd and we just needed to establish the pecking order. Because of this snapping I have been making her feet move and getting her to face up to me, this has helped majorly! Today she shook her head with ears back at me again after I had finished petting her neck. This immediately resulted in more feet moving and facing up. Our 2nd session consisted of me going up to pet her with out hesitation, letting her relax with that, then me making her move off before I pet her next. This gained her respect and trust of me enough for me to get the drag line off. All an all it was a good Easter Day! Happy Easter!
