I had originally thought Blossom was 2 years old at least. But I've gone back and recalculated the oldest she could possibly be is 1 yr and 8 months. I have new pictures of her pulling a barrel and wearing a few rain ponchos. She obviously did not care about either one. I did it as a way to desensitize her to scary items, though she was not scared. I just asked her to walk around with the stuff . I won't ask her to trot or canter pulling anything heavy because she is young. The things I will be working on this week with Blossom are: round penning and backing up in an L shape. I will also be visiting Wickham park on July 4th with Blossom in the riding arena. I have contacted a Mounted Shooting group in Daytona and asked them if I could bring Blossom to their next event. It would be good to let her stand around in a stall with people watching, trying to touch her, and guns going off. That would be a great intro for her as to what it will be like in Fort Worth. Their is a show in Tampa at the State Fair grounds that I'm looking into too. I also want to take her to the beach while she's in Florida.
On this fourth of July, remember our American Mustangs who also represent America and freedom.
