Orange Blossom

In hindsight I should of called Blossom, Awesome Blossom because that is what she is.
Florida has finally dried up from June and July's rain and I have been able to get down to some serious training. Blossom does obstacle courses (no fear), round pens, lunges, pivots, yields, moves away from pressure nicely, she is bendy and soft. She is so ready to start under saddle, I want to ride her. I'm afraid if I take that first ride then I will definitely not want to let her go. Blossom is one of the most personable horses that I have ever worked with. She loves to hear her name, she comes running and neighing when you call her, she loves to go places (and she's gone to a lot of places in less than 70 days) , she knows when it's time to rest or work. All this and she is only around 2. The deadline to decide if you want to keep your yearling is Sept 1st and it is coming up fast.

We are going to a barrel racing event and that should be real good for her.
She has never seen barrel racing and the way horses act at the gate. Knowing her she won't care.

Mustangs Rock!! Seriously, if your looking for a good versatile horse, get yourself a well trained mustang, visit Mustang Heritage Foundation for tons of Mustang info.
