Have you read the front page?: Yep!

Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?: Of course, unless something really tragic happens cx !

Will you train this mustang?: Of course! I have trained a horse in real life and think that I am quite suitable to do it on CS c: .

What are some of your training plans?: When I first receive my wild mustang, I will earn his [or her, I will just use his for now so I don't have to type his/her every time I mention the mustang cx] trust and teach him that it is okay to approach humans… I will bond with my mustang and get to know his personality and attitude towards him. To do this, I will first place him in a field- which is large enough for the horse to gallop at least an acre in- and approach the horse throughout the day, little by little. I won't want to overwhelm or scare the mustang if I jump into things too quickly. Once he has gained my trust and once I learn his personality, I will place similar horses [personality wise] into the field with him and soon introduce horses with different personalities in- but keep a close eye so they don't fight. Once all of the horses are settled, I will move on with the mustang, making physical contact with the horse.

After the horse trusts me, I will try to teach it how to use its halter by gently nudging its nose into it, and next taking it off. I will then slowly work my way up to the horse's ears, slipping it over them when he is comfortable. Later I will start to groom the horse, using soft-brushes first, before 'the more rough' curry-combs and hard-brushes- also hoof-picks, to avoid getting kicked. I will make sure the horse fully trusts me before I start hoof-picking. Once the mustang is okay with grooming and the halter, I will slowly introduce saddle-pads to it- lightly placing it on and off.

After the mustang is used to tack, I will lunge him in the ring with his tack on for a week or two. After he is used to being in the ring, I will slowly attempt to get on him and start to ride him- little by little. This way he will be comfortable and will not be ahead of himself. I will ride him over poles once he is good with flatwork and slowly raise the poles to a little less than a foot to get his hooves where they are supposed to be. After he is good with his footwork, I will raise the jump higher little by little, soon to be getting to the bigger jumps.

Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?: Yes I will! (I already set a calendar alarm on my phone!)

What are some of your training plans?: (Minimum Answer Length: Three Sentences ; Maximum Answer Length: Three Paragraphs)
I am not experienced in training wild mustangs, but I will do my best. First off, I will get him/her used to the environment; making sure he/she is used to the surroundings. Also, I plan to gain his/her trust, and get him/her accustomed to the tack before attempting to ride. Also, I will most definitely just "hang" with my horse, spending time together. I'm sure we will end up being the best of friends, and top-notch training buddies, both of us learning something new.

Yep! This is going to be so much fun! It's a great idea, and it will definitely help me train my own horse in real life because I'll have to do a lot of research. c: I'm so excited!
Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?:
Yessiree bob! I'm writing it on my calendar C:
Will you train this mustang?:
Yep, you can count on me to try my hardest, though I'm definitely not a professional.
What are some of your training plans?:
I plan on first getting to know my mustang and letting it get used to its surroundings. I will work on gaining the mustang's trust and respect by doing basic ground work and desensitization training to 'scary' objects. Once the mustang trusts me and is not frightened, I will get it used to the tack, and train it to respond to commands that will be given while being ridden. Then I'll get in the saddle and perfect basic moves, like going faster or slower, halting, turning, etc. Once the mustang and I are thoroughly comfortable with each other while riding, I will train it to do a certain discipline depending on its skills.

yes, i am allways able to get on, even if it's only on mobile.

Will you train this mustang?:
even though i have abselotly no experience with traing horses of any kind, i will try my best doing reasearch and working on getting to know my mustang.

What are some of your training plans?:
i plan to let the darling get used to his/her surroundings for the first few days, hanging around the stall and barn so he/she gets used to me being around. i am planning to just hang around him/her, and try to bond at first. once i am able to get a halter on her, ill start on groundwork, using commands such as "walk" and "whoa" while working on standing and leading. hopefully around the point where he or she is getting used to this, i will be able to get a saddle on hime/her, so he/she can get used to it.

sorry about my limited knowledge ; v ;

Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?:yes, of course...unless I have a fatal injury in which case I probably won't
Will you train this mustang?:yup or I would not have written a paragraph about it
What are some of your training plans?:I need to first gain his trust or I willnot ber able to continue. First I need to set boundaries for what the horse can and cannot do. For example, no biting, kicking,etc. because when horses are taught early on that boundaries are hazy, or non-existent, it makes it very difficult to build trust in those horses later on. Then I'm going to start Parelli with him and spend a lot of time with him , then build our relationship based on that. When he is ready to be trained I'm going to start off small, at first trail riding and then start off with basic dressage exercises or small jumps. After that I plan on training him in eventing, but if he does not like I will train him for western.

Will you train this mustang?: if I wasn't why would I be posting
What are some of your training plans?: first, trust. All good friend ships begin with trust. Then after we are friends I'll start on the tricks, I'll start with simple ones like 'heel' and ground tying. Then I'll go to the harder ones

Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?: Yes, it might not be until that night, but I should be on.
Will you train this mustang?: Yes, it might not be 100% effective or correct but I will do the best of my abilities.
What are some of your training plans?: Some of my training plans include but are not limited to gaining the mustangs trust little by little everyday. I want the mustang to trust me and know that I will not do anything to harm him/her. I plan on gaining this trust through small daily exercises or routines that will vary day by day. I am hoping that with this trust a bond forms and that the mustang will allow me to gentle him/her, so that I may ride and be able to teach him/her a few tricks. I plan on exposing him/her to a horse character of mine (as I do not own any CWHR's yet - I'm trying to get one). I am hoping that all of this pays off and I end up with an amazing mustang.

Will you train this mustang?: Yup, but this will be my first CWHR horse, and I will try my hardest.
What are some of your training plans?: I plan on securing a strong bond with my new horse, until he/she trusts me. After he/she trusts me I will begin by setting the boundaries of what my horse can and cannot do. Biting, kicking, cribbing etc. That will be when I begin to introduce him/her to a halter. When they're used to that piece of tack, I will begin taming her by teaching him/her things, such as letting me lead him/her, and ground tying. After that is when I will be introducing her to each piece of tack, separately and gradually, until he/she is fully equipped.
