Day 5 and 6

Well there are no new photos to show :( for these days, but Lonnie has been working everyday with "Mustang", and everyday is a new learning experience both for the horse and Lonnie. "Mustang" is still skeptical on all the new things he has learned but after trying it a few times and getting scared over nothing he calms down and walks right threw all the steps like he has been doing them for years! "Mustang" is a very quick learner and very smart! I forgot to mention that Lonnie introduced grain to him a few days ago but that's a no go so far lol.. Mustang thinks its more fun to kick the feeding bowl and paw grain into the ground before tempting to even try it. He sure doesn't know what he is missing out on, and Im sure he will pick up on it soon and realize what he has been missing :) Mustang is also doing a great job with saddle and bit.. this we thought would be a bigger challenge than it has been. We shall see what tomorrow brings.


PS: In case you are wondering we still haven't come up with a official name for "Mustang" as of yet. But I will make sure to keep y'all posted once we do.. Suggestions are welcome......
