Diary:

Day 1 - July 1st

Dear diary,
6:30 am
Today me and some friends went to the Mustang round up at the stables. We got there right before everyone else did so we got to look the wilds over before anyone else. That's when I saw her, a paint with a War bonnet. A rare Medicine Hat. I watched the wild filly as she searched for a weakness in the pen that held her among several other fillys. She kept testing the bars and kicking any who came near. Right then, as my number matched with hers, I knew I was going to have a rough road ahead in taming her.

Dear diary,
What a fireball of a filly! Choctaw, the filly's new name, somehow kicked the door of the trailer open and bolted as we turned onto the dirt road leading to my ranch. We spent and hour just trying to herd her into a pen. Even with the help of my ranch hands, she managed to kick me in the ribs, thankfully, none are broken though. She is definitely a spirited little girl and hopefully she won't escape again.

10:00 -
Break

1:00 pm -
Dear Diary,
Well, she did it again. This time, she jumped clear over the fence and into a cow pasture. When I got the call, I looked an saw her chasing the bull! I have never seen a mustang so brave and spirited as this one! I guess I need to go rescue the bull...be right back.

1:45 -
Dear diary,
Finally managed to get Choctaw in a secured, high fence pen I use for keeping injured deer in. Glad she can jump a 9ft fence, thank goodness! She was interested in the hay and sweet feed I tempted her with to get her used to the trough. It seemed to calm her down a bit.

5:00 -
Dear diary,
I have my cattle dogs sleeping in the house tonight so as not to spook Choctaw on her first night. The female dog is due to have her puppies any day now, so ill probably keep her in the house anyway. I went out and checked on Choctaw and at least she didn't try to kick me, but I can still see a lot is spirit and mischief in her eyes a she watched me. She seemed content enough to lay down, and got up when I came to the pen door. I saw her coming out of the barn that is connected to the deer pen (which oddly enough, only has one filly in it instead of deer.) she snorted at me, but then just stood there watching me. We are both tired, so I think we can both turn in early. Who knows, maybe tomorrow will be calmer, and ill work on getting a chance to pet her.

Day 2- July 2nd

Dear Diary,
Well, i got a call at 5:30 am saying that she had somehow escaped again and after about 30 minutes of searching, we found her in the cow pasture again. I think she has calmed down a bit and apparently claimed the cow pasture as her own.

5:30 am
Got a call from a ranch hand. Choctaw was loose.

6:00 am
Finally found her. We heard some commotion in the cow pasture and went running. Guess who we found. Yep, it was Choctaw. Seems she has claimed the cow pasture as her own. Luckily we have a small 4 horse barn located at one end that we used for extra hay storage. Ill move her stuff to one of the big stalls there an clean it out.

9:00
Finally cleaned out and moved the extra hay an got Choctaws stall set up. It's big, so hopefully she will like that. Just foun out that one of my ranch hands, Hope, managed to get a picture of Choctaw jumping over the cow fence. So ill post that later today.

9:15
Made progress. Choctaw actually let me in the ring without charging or kicking at me. Hopefully I can get a halter on her.

11:30
Yes! I did it! She let me put a halter on her after over 2 hours of coaxing and tempting with sugar cubes and peppermints. Seems she loves the sugar cubes. She is also lettin me pet her very slowly, though she still jumps or flinches at my touch. At least she isn't shying away!

12:00pm
Lunch break

1:30
Had to go into town to the vets office because Catta, my female cattle dog, decided that today would be a good day to have her pups.

4:30
Great news! Catta gave birth to 6 pups, all happy and healthy! Now they're at home in the house resting. I went to Choctaws pasture, which she shared with a few older calves, and clicked a few times. She came running over and nudged my shirt pocket, which she knew had some sugar cubes in it. I have a feeling she is going to be spoiled.

6:30
Made some more progress with Choctaw. She actually let me clip a lead onto the halter. He balked and reared a couple of times, I think she thought it was a snake at first, but after that...she led me around the pen. Definitely stubborn, gotta work on me being the boss.

8:30
Bedded Choctaw down in her stall and she seemed content. Apparently she likes the company of the cows, although I have seen her trying to herd them a couple of times. Thankfully I took the bull and most of the cows out and only left a few harmless weaned calves, so they can't hurt her. I'm definitely going to try training her in Rodeo Cutting. She should excel in it.

10:45
Well, I'm going to bed since Choctaw seems to be calm right now. Ill have that photograph of her jumping the fence as soon as Hope sends it to me...sometimes she forgets...
