Destination; Mustang Makeover - 100 Trainers, 100 Mustangs, 100 Days!





I'll be archiving TLee's 100 days of training on a weekly basis. Hopefully you will be able to see the progress. Right now they're calling the mustang Mestano - which is Spanish for mustang. The naming process is going slow, so if any of you have ideas for names send them on! Holly will be blogging too. She wants to get a link on the BLM website, but hasn't figured out how to do it yet. When she gets her blog going, I'll add a link so you can see hers - I'm sure it will be more complete than this one! Mestano was caught in Nevada, and hauled to Paul's Valley OK., where Holly and TLee picked him up. By the time he got home, he was pretty well trailer trained! Mestano didn't seem too wild when he first arrived. He was very curious, and walked toward us when we went to look at him in his stall. Looking and touching were two different stories though! I'm pretty sure that the only human touch he ever had to this point has been painful! Teryn Lee gave Mestano the day off after they got home, but training started the next day. The pictures on this page are day 1 of Mestano's education. By the end of the first day, Teryn Lee was able to pony Mestano around outside the round pen.
