Day 30 On The Farm

Today was a big day for Mav and (as you can hear towards the end of the video) a very emotional night for me. Tonight Mav let my touch his entire body head to hoof and it may have been my biggest victory moment in gentling to date. This horse who was terrified to let me stand on his left side, touch both sides of his face at once, or hold his feed bucket just let me touch his entire body and I am SO proud of him 🥹😭❤️

Day 15 Out Of Holding

First night with the brush tonight and Cylde did extremely well 🥰❤️ He is learing to lead but it is a bit awkward as he is learning to lead in the mustang collar while we wait on halters for his gigantic head to come in the mail 🤣❤️ Atleast I will be prepared for next time a horse comes here with a draft sized head 🤷‍♀️

Day 75 Out Of Holding

Today just went absolutely fantastic! Vinnie was introduced to the surcingle completely at liberty and only stepped away from me once the whole time 🥰❤️

Day 192 Out Of Holding

He is such an impressive little c**t 😍❤️ I think I may start doing baby jumps with him next 🤔 Also towards the beginning of the video you see him trotting with me and licking his lips but he has his thinking ears on aka pinned but not of agression obviously. Mr. Attitude Ears strikes again 🤣❤️

Don't mind Josefine or me yelling at her, we have been together for like 12 years at this point and she is so mean to the other horses 🤦‍♀️

Day 10 Out Of Holding

Not only did I find a baby tooth today but Clyde had his first leading session and I think he did pretty darn good 🥰❤️ His head is unfortunately too big for every halter we have (rope and nylon) though so I am going to have to get some bigger ones 🤦‍♀️ is still really inpatient with his reward which is not a surprise since he is still a baby but he will learn 🥰

Day 72 Out Of Holding

Vinnie did fantastic today per the norm, let me pick up this foot and hold it several times today, he wasn't ready for the other front foot today but im really hoping we can move on to that foot tomorrow 🥰

Day 23 On The Farm

With all the craziness this week poor Mav has not had as much work as I would have liked but he took a huge step letting me rub his face on all sides with the rope today 🥹❤️

Day 71 Out Of Holding

Hey guys! Sorry the page has been so quiet but this loveable ding d**g decided to go on an *adventure* this week so it has been busy and stressful. Here he is acting as if nothing ever happened and being the best boy while I applied his roll on fly spray and liniment to his sore leggies 😭❤️

Day 184 Out Of Holding

Lennox was the first to be loaded in the new trailer today and would you just LOOK at him do the dang thing! If you watch all the end through you will notice me shut the door and load him again except it was through the sliding MAN DOOR 😍❤️ I remeasured him today and he is just over 13.1hh and his string test is just over 15hh so that is awesome! 😍❤️ I also shaped his feet a bit today, worked on his showmanship, and fly sprayed him 🥰

Day 4 Out Of Holding

Clyde being an absolutely fantastic boy ❤️🥹 Even if he was a bit of an assnugget at the start (you can definitely tell that he is still a baby 🤣❤️). When we finished our session I gave him a bunch of hay and then gave Mav some hay, after which I went over to the gate and started watching him. He noticed me and came over then I spent like two minutes kissing his nose through the gate before he decided to go back and eat 🥹❤️ I haven't been so sure that a horse was going to be MY horse in a really long time but he is definitely going to be here for the long haul ❤️ PLEASE let him and Scooter like eachother 😅❤️

Day 66 Out Of Holding

Tonight was a really good night for Vinnie and a really rough night too. AV horses are put on this earth to humble mustang trainers, period. He did really awesome with the grazing muzzle when he was introduced to it tonight though so that's awesome 🥰❤️

Day 17 On The Farm

Just a little snippet of Mav's sweet self today 🥰 We definitely have a lot of facial trauma to work through but I know this kind boy is going to be such a fantastic horse 🥰❤️

If you know anyone needing an absolutely fantastic gentled yearling Lennox Man is their guy ❤️🥰 I honestly had struggled for months on whether or not I would be keeping this boy myself!
