Wyoming got the pleasure of wearing the rope halter this evening, and we 'looped' the lead rope like reins, and I swung the rope around his head like a jump rope. I left the normal sounds in it this time...no music. Well, the critter sounds are music to my ears, but probably quite noisy to the neighbors ears.
Good boy Wy!!!!
Until later...Karen and Tripp

That is so wonderful! Am I confused or have you got all this done since returning from KY? He looks really calm, maybe even bored? Fantastic work! And the critter noises woke my dog up, she is barking and growling. I think the gobbler brought back memories.
Jill, you are not confused at all...this has all happened since I got back. I find myself thinking that if I did not have to work a regular job how far I could get with them! :-) But that regular job keeps me able to do this...plus I get to show other people that they can do it too.
Those turkeys are a hoot! Or should I say 'gobble'? The gobblers respond to most noises and they make me laugh too! I don't remember appreciating turkeys so much when I was a kid...
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to adopt and ride a wild mustang? Don't have the facilities required by the Bureau of Land Management? Don't have time to gentle a mustang but would love to have and ride an American icon? I can help!
I am what is called a T.I.P. trainer. I will gentle your mustang before you take him/her home. I will also be a mentor to help you with any problems you might have. If I don't have an answer for you, I will find one! We have quite the support group!
What do you have to do? Fill out the application for the Bureau of Land Management, and once they approve you, you pay $125 for the adoption fee.
Please e-mail me for details. HoofnIt03@gmail.com
Thank you!
Karen and Tripp, who is my inspiration!

Tripp was my 2008 EMM horse, formerly known as #6676. He came home with me! Yay!
I am one of 200 trainers selected to compete in the 2008 Extreme Mustang Makeover in Ft. Worth, TX. I have been a life long horse lover/horse owner but have never officially trained a horse from beginning to end. Especially on a time limit!
My goal in this competition is to show that the average backyard horse person can gentle and train a mustang. It might take a while, but once you get there you will have a friend for life.
My husband and I have the pleasure of having 8 mustangs on our place, in addition to 4 domestic horses, 2 BLM burros, a donk, a Scottish Highland cow, a Llama, and we are babysitting 2 mini horses, a mini donk, and I am training two TIP (Trainer Incentive Program) mustangs for their new adopters. Tripp, my EMM mustang, has officially joined the family!
I also have other hobbies. I love to read, paint ceramics, go letterboxing (letterboxing.org), garden, quilt, ride my motorcycle, scuba dive, and about anything that has to do with the outdoors. There just isn't enough time for it all, and as far as I am concerned, it is a good problem to have! :-)

Forget the human...the turkey was hysterical!
