Progress! π
She's still incredibly difficult to catch in the field and still needs to be herded into the pen. But, once she's caught, working with her is getting easier. We managed to stand fully on the big scary tarp and carry around a surcingle without breaking in half. She was definitely uncertain, but worked through it beautifully. Finished with picking up all four feet for a quick clean, cool bath/rinse, some braids, a fly mask, being turned out with her friends.
It's taken quite a while to get to this point. Of all the mustangs I've worked with so far, she is the only one with absolutely zero curiosity.
