I sent a e-mail to the BLM to double check. I wanted to make sure he was not adopted before. He has never been handled. He's seen visitors to the facility...who have probably pet him on the face (some of the horses come right up to you) but the halter placed on him in the day 1 video is the first time anybody has put one on him. I already take his halter off him when I'm not working with. He is a little bit shy to catch..but its not a real issue.

Well, You picked a good one, that much is clear. Great job and I look forward to watching his progress. He seems to have a great mind and a willingness to try.

Day three...I'll post regularly on the blog I created for him. If any of you want to check in on him

He might as well be a green domestic horse...not wild in the least

What a great little horse!
He is certainly a quick learner!

He is gonna make one heck of a horse when you are done with him!! He just takes everything so well and is so respectful and trusting. Hes gonna be one of those teddy bear kinda guys...I can see it

Wow, you are really making fast progress with him. I wondered, too, if he hadn't been worked with before you brought him home. A willing to please disposition for sure on that little guy.

I would think he would have needed a few days to settle in, but I guess not.

Looks like you have the perfect setup for him. The pony sessions will get him going forward well in no time.

Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your mustang experience with us.

I think those are the sweetest videos I have ever seen. I laughed and cried thinking how very trusting he is and he was wild two years ago. My how his life has changed. You really really lucked out, I want one!
