Day 4 (Follow the mower...)

Wendy:
My plan was to work earlier today, but I really needed to get some mowing done before more rain comes in. I started working my mustang at about 3pm. He is still improving every day, and his confidence is building more and more. I see a strong curiosity about him. I noticed it even when I was mowing today. He was following the mower, which surprised me. When I would get anywhere near the round pen he would turn and face me and then follow me off as I kept going. I thought he would want to jump out of the pen if I got too close. We have domestic trained horses that go crazy when they see the mower coming. I am pleased with the progress, but I do wish I was further along. Patience and persistence I know will pay off.
