We have been pretty busy prepping for equine affair the past few weeks, but I feel that Hades needed his own post! ❤️
This sweet boy went home Sunday and in just one short month, he went from being unbroke and super timid and nervous around people-and would not let anyone touch his back legs- to allowing me to ride him and we were able to trim his hooves, after working consistently with his back legs! He progressed quite well, and much to my surprise (keep in mind he was a WILD HORSE) he had a nice walk trot and canter under saddle by the time he went home! I am so excited to see this boy grow and progress with his owner ❤️
It still amazes me that a horse who once roamed the range, wild and free with no fences or saddles on his back, has built enough trust with me to allow me to ride him. One thing I have learned throughout this experience with Hades is that you CAN NOT 'force' a mustang to do what YOU want him to do..... But instead you must ASK him if HE allows you. I'm not sure who trained who throughput this journey 🤔 ok I'm joking, but I sure did learn alot about myself throughout this process.... And I am beyond thankful for this opportunity and experience ❤️
