the formula...

one mustang + one little girl (love x patience x time) + trust =
best friends forever

On Sunday we were able to bring the two mustangs to our neighbor's roundpen. The roundpen is a safe environment in which to work the horses.

In the roundpen:

Our neighbor and wonderful mentor, Lisa

The kids have put many hours into the horses from the ground. Lot's of handling, brushing, picking up feet, petting...as you can tell Abba has paid her dues and has gained Apache's trust:

Abba and Apache wait their turn


It took a lot of encouragement to get Apache to lope. It was a new thing to run in the roundpen, he has always run in straight lines, so to actually get him to lope took a lot of running on Lisa and Abba's part, they got a workout too!



whoa...
