Pick Up Day

We picked up the new mustang at the Wild Horse Corral Facility in Hines, OR December 5th. I was excited to get a 15.2 strong gelding. He was a nice looking bay mustang. After bringing him home and working him in the round pen the first few minutes, I realized he wasn't sound when he was turning directions. Something that you couldn't really notice unless worked with. Sadly, I returned him back to Hines 7 days later and they will put him in a sanctuary.





My family made the first trip with me and my girls were very excited to see all of the mustangs. My five year old liked the baby mustangs the best.







After returning the gelding, I received a new mustang that is a little black filly. She is quite a fireball. My wife thinks Dynamite is a good name for her, but nothing has hit me yet. I'm thrilled because she is very athletic. I can't wait to ride her and see what she will excel at. She is a pretty little thing and quick! I'll have to get a picture soon and post it.

Here are a few names that come to mind.

"Flo Jo" - after Florence Joyner...she was quick, athletic and a real spitfire.

"Rosa Parks" - The woman that challenge the nation by refusing to give up her seat on the bus.

TNT - The song is pretty self-explanatory.
