That would be the best Christmas present ever! She will be soooo happy. She sure has a gift and it's so great that you encourage her. Your story just warms my heart. :love

Your daughter sounds like she has the touch to work with horses. Shouldn't a 1st horse be something easier then a wild one ?

Oh, this is a very capable girl we're talking about here Nyboy. Anyone who can train a bull for riding has what it takes to tackle a wild horse.
There's no mystique to a wild horses behavior, they are just horses that haven't been handled yet. You start out a bit slower is all.

We, the girls and I, went to Palomino Valley today took a couple pictures on the way, thought you might like to see what the country is like.

'there are a few horses here, we'll come back when they're open.

The last picture are wild mustangs just down the road from the from the BLM.

Quote lucky, how old did you say your daughter is? "15"

We're driving a few miles each day, on wagon paths and paved roads.
When we got to the paved area, we saw the Buckskin Band off to the left watching us. One of the stallions led a couple of the mares up to where they could cut us off and get a better look at who we are. We stopped, not sure what they had in mind, as we continued the lead mare led them off and a stallion kept an eye on us.
