End of Week Two

Stiletto is doing great. I have been working on lots of basics and she responds well to everything I ask her to do. Jill got her new filly this past week and on Sunday we ponied her for the first time from Stiletto. They both did great. We will probably do more ponying over the next few weeks. They are also turned out together, so they are buddies.

End of Week One

Stiletto is doing great and is accepting new things everyday. Since it was too cold to spend time in the indoor most of last week, I used the time to work on anything that I could do in the warm barn. She was great with everything I did with her. I clipped her one night and she also got her first farrier visit. She was overdue for a trim when I got her last week so it was a definite necessity.

I have not gotten any pictures since the first weekend. With the cold weather, the moisture from the footing is gone and the dust makes photography difficult.

As of last night, she now has four rides on her and is doing very well. I should have some pictures of her under saddle by next week.

Lalo took his mare home on Sunday where he can spend more time working with her and less time traveling back and forth to the barn. Jesus called and said both of his mares are doing well. Hopefully he can come down with them for a weekend or we can all meet someplace in-between.

Look for pictures soon, Wednesday will be warmer and the dust will be down.

Name Chage

I changed the mustangs name today. Trax is a good name, but just wasn't fitting this mare. Her name is now Stiletto. I will get pictures this weekend to post. She is doing great and loves all the attention she can get.

Snow Traxing

Stiletto went out to play in the snow today. She took big bites out of the snow piles and tried to climb them. She is very curious and likes to investigate everything and everyone she comes into contact with. Below is her imitation of Sign's trademark.

Thanks to Jesus, Martin and Lalo for making the trip to Ewing.

The mustangs arrived at Signature Arabians Friday night approximately 6PM. Lalo is keeping his at Signature Arabians until he gets her started. He has a 4 yr old Bay mare and I have a 3 yr old Brown mare. Jesus got two mares one bay and one sorrel.

Sat AM we started the 100 day training. I named my mare, Stiletto. Stiletto is a really nice mare, with lots of body and very sensible.

Getting ready for the second challenge

This Friday is the pick up date for the 2009 mustang. Arrival will be by 5PM Friday at Signature Arabians. I will get some pictures and post them by next week. I am hoping for a less muddy one this time around.
