Jacob's early birthday present!!!

As I have said before Jacob loves mustangs every time we talk about Ft. Worth he gets to talking about how he can't wait until September so we can go back and watch the Mustang Makeover!

I've been thinking about doing the EMM but haven't really got to talk to anyone who's been there and done that or even been around a "wild" mustang lol. Otis and I talked about it and the BLM does a internet adoption every few months. Some of these horses are babies up to horses that are older like 5-9 years of age. They also have some that have been at prisons that are set up to help gentle the mustangs and get them riding so they have a better chance of adoption. (Plus I think it helps the inmates deal with some issues they may have!) After 2 weeks of bidding on two different ones we won the wining bid at the last minute on one!!!! Talk about nerve racking.

He is a estimated 3 year old bay gelding that was captured on August 27, 2007 from the Divide Basin in Wyoming. He's going to be a small horse which is perfect for Jacob but at the same time he'll be able to hold Jacob when he's older. He's been in training since August of last year in the prison. The BLM will ship him to Pauls Valley around the 13th of April so in about 2 weeks we will go to pick him up!!!! We haven't told Jacob that we got him were going to surprise him when we pull up at the thing in Pauls Valley. Don't worry I'll post pictures of the whole pick up adventure and of his BLM tattoo. Here is a few pictures of the horse with no name:)
