Have you read the front page?: Yup.
Will you pick up this mustang on the 22nd of June?: If KC an - I'm hoping my entry is not too late.
Will you train this mustang?: Yes.
What are some of your training plans?: First, I will allow the horse to become used to my presence, as this is such a stressful time. This means many days of sitting out in the field with him/her, and just waiting.
I will obviously turn him/her out with other horses, to maintain the herd atmosphere and allow him/her to settle.
When he/she accepts my presence, I will begin to teach him/her to accept a head collar, using many treats, praise and patience, taking everything at their pace.
Once trust is established, there will have to be clear boundaries, as some behaviour would not be tolerated.
Using these methods, I hope to create a well rounded and balanced horse, working through trust.
