So, I signed up to train a Mustang from the BLM. The BLM offers a program in a couple of regions that gives professionals and amateurs a hand at training a wild Mustang, the Extreme Mustang Makeover (http://www.extrememustangmakeover.com/emmnebraska.php). I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the posting.
My wife and I have adopted from BLM before and really enjoyed the experience. Sure, there are lots of rules and regulations, but that is what my wife thrives on. (She is all about following the book.) I, of course, loved getting to build a relationship with a wild animal and taking sole responsibility for accomplishing the nearly unthinkable. Really, who doesn't love the idea of a bucking bronco succumbing to their own hand?
Now I have the chance to train a BLM horse and get judged on my efforts by a group of professionals. This is going to be a great summer project!!
I pick up my horse June 11 and we head back to Nebraska September 24 for the competition. I am spending my whole summer training a horse and I can't wait.
I plan to let you know how it goes by posting every week or so. In the meantime, tell me what you plan to accomplish this summer.
