Tractor Supply Fundraiser And Show

The fundraiser went really well at Tractor Supply and thank you again for everyone who came out and visited Orange Blossom, Thank you for the genuine interest and compassion for these Mustangs.


Everyone was amazed that in such a short time that a Mustang can be tamed. . I thought " wow " I've really done a good job. Until the horse show that is.....Blossom was so good when we arrived she tied to the trailer and got groomed. We put the show halter on a walked towards the crowd. She did great until I asked her to stand around quietly and wait for our class, which was starting in about ten minutes. Well.....she had different plans. Lets see...she reared several times, struck out and tried to bite me. I looked around at all the pretty long tailed horses with their shinning coats and shinning owners and opted to sit that class out because I did not want to ruin their show time that they had worked so hard for. I took Blossom to a private place and put her training halter on and starting sending her for respect and asking her for two eyes on me. When I felt control again, I took her back to the show area and she was really good. We went in three classes but did not win. I had the training halter on her and we were not exactly dressed like the others, but she did the patterns and I was happy about that. The judge came over and asked me about Blossom. I told her about the Mustang Makeover and she gave me several compliments. She said Blossom was well mannered and right after she said that, Blossom bit me. No kidding. I ignored it, and to the judges credit she did to and did not take back her compliment. I think Blossom knew what the judge said. LOL I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to take her to at least one big show even if it was out of our league. It helped us both.
