Job 39:19-25

19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane? 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
-Job 39:19-25

Day 69: Work after Rest

I decided that since Reece did so well at fair I would give her a few days off to bask in her victory. When I went out into the field with the intent to catch her she decided that she still wanted more rest days. It took me way longer to catch her than usual and I decided that if she was going to be a snot about catching I better find a way to reverse the bad habit she was going to form. After catching her and getting her attention back from a few days of rest I brought her into our round pen and did some pen work with her at liberty (no halter). I had her walk, trot, switch directions on a dime, halt back exc. all with out touching her then I had her come to me while I stood still in the middle of the pen. By the time I was done working with her the other horses had decided to come up and take a look so I locked her up in the field close to my house with some other horses and let her play of the rest of the night.

I would also like to invite EVERY ONE to the final showcasing of the Yearling Mustang/ Washington Youth program to support all of the youth who trained Mustangs this summer (Me and Reece being one of them). J
