I will! The silly guy stepped on my foot twice put his weight into it to see how I would react lol I could get him to walk on the halter he wanted eat grass so I had to be a little bit more aggressive than normal and he would crowhop when he was asked to canter anytime which is what I was informed of after the fact lol I have to start back at the basics lol

How awesome Wolf! I would recommend spending time with him outside of "working". Just hang out with him in his paddock and get to know him.

have you read The Man Who Listens to Horses? It really changed the way I interact with my ponies and they've become MUCH more responsive, especially on the ground! :D

Wolf Dancer

Topic Change :)
I'm working at a new ranch and I love it! And I'm getting to work with a new horse which is exciting! He a mustang and has basic training but I'm going to be the one working on refining the skills and making him more responsive to less force from the rider. However right now I'm in like his "testing" period and am sorta struggling to connect with him lol he's very stubborn and determined to do sorta the opposite of what I want, any tips on getting out of the testing zone and into a start of a relationship between horse and rider? I know being patient and gentle yet firm but any other tips?

<div align="center">Chapter 1

<div align="center">I looked through the small window of a tiny 2 horse trailer. I saw a liquid brown eye looking back. Either I pay 2k and bring him home with me or I turn his owners offer down and he goes to slaughter. I was sitting in my truck thinking. Andy had been abused his while life and he was 7. Andy lived in a small breeding facility. The only time he left his stall was to breed a mare. Andy's stall was knee deep with manure. I was listing the pros and cons in my head. Now, as I think about it I don't know why I took so long to decide. After about and hour I made my decision. I would bring Andy home. I hooked my truck up to the tiny trailer and drive it home. On the way I was contemplating my decision, I haven't seen anymore of Andy than his right eye.<div align="center">
<div align="center">When we arrived at my stall farm I backed the trailer up to the barn doors and got out. I opened the stall door I wanted Andy in. All my other horses were outside in the big pastures. I opened the back of the trailer and Andy came flying out and ran to his stall. I immediately noticed he was a roan/Bay/Liver Chestnut color. Andy was wearing a small black nylon halter that dug into his skin, a rusty stud chain, and what looked to be a heavy weight, Hunter Green blanket tied on with baling twine. <div align="center">
<div align="center">Thoughts?? Should I continue??

<div style="text-align: center;">Chapter 2

<div style="text-align: center;">Andy ran right into the run connect to his stall. He raised his head and gave a loud whinny that shook his body. He loved being able to go outside. For the next 2 weeks I did nothing to him but gain his trust. I felt terrible he was still in the heavy blanket and halter, but I didn't want him to fear me. By the end of the 2 weeks Andy would nicker whenever I walked in the barn. I decided it was time to remove his blanket and halter. I gave Andy a light sedative so he would stand quietly. I cut the twine and realized it was stuck to his skin. I ended up having to cut it into about 6 prices, I then pealed it off if Andy. He was covered in quarter sized welts. Raw, raised open tissue from wearing a blanket for who knows how long. I then moved to Andy's halter. After a little bit of trying I was able to unbuckle it and slide if if his face. When he was still a bit sleepy I rubbed some salve on his welts and on the rub mark across his nose. Twice a day for a month I would rub salve on Andy's wounds, towards the end he would let me go in the stall with him to do it. I was gaining his trust. That thought made me grin. After his wounds had healed, I shifted my focus to cleaning him. I had gained enough trust to place a very loose halter on him and lead him to his run out. I had drug a hose out to his pen and a curry comb, complete with some soap. I started to bathe him. Andy LOVED it, he would stretch out his neck and too lip. Close his eyes and rest a foot. It was definitely the highlight of both of our days. Everyday Andy's true coat came closer into view. Everyday a layer of grime was removed. One day I lead him back to his stall after a bathing session and dryer him off. I then finished our routine with a thorough grooming. I soon realized after brushing Andy, j had gotten to his true coat. He was a shiny Chestnut. The color of a copper penny. I told him over and over how handsome he looked. I couldn't believe after all this time, I now had a Happy, healthy, clean and wound free horse.
