New BLM Adoptee...Aug. 11 with 1st day Video.

Here are some photos of the new guy...yes...this is the first day home (He's not sweaty...that is water from a spray bottle lesson). I wanted to adopt a blm mustang because I was looking for a challenge. I think he's going to be fun..but not the challenge I was looking for. I believe he has the makings of a dead solid trail horse...takes EVERY new thing in stride.

Wouldn't mind a conformation critique as well...(if you can look past all that fat). And we need some good solid western names for him...something to fit a nice brave, calm horse.

We have settled on "Tabasco" for the new guy!

He is destined to be a trail horse but...if I were to show him (not planning on it) what disciplines do you think he might excel in given his conformation?

I have to imagine he's got a little more growing to do...so his topline may even out some more yet...he is only 3.

The more you post of this guy the more I like him. He is apprehensive, but face forward and inquisitive. You already have given him a more thorough bath than my nine year old paint who was domestically bred, will tolerate.

He is also very respectful of the halter. I am competely impressed. Are you SURE he was not handled before.
