Subject: Training Midnight to Daylight to everything! Author: Jenny [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:46:19 12/12/02 Thu ok, I was so freaked out. I was gonna train a highly spirited wild stallion. His name was Midnight to Daylight, a beautiful pinto stallion he was. I walked to the pasture and hid a halter and lead rope behind my back. Of coarse, Midday would go belistic if I hadn't have hidden it. I slowly walked up to Midday and slipped the lead rope around his neck. He reared and threw himself back down, almost landing on me! I still had the rope in my hand, but Midday was bucking like crazy, throwing me all around the place. I screamed for help, and around the corner appeared Ashley. She gasped in horror and grasped my ankles, trying to stop the mustang from killing me. He stopped alright, but he was breathing like crazy and was staill trying to jerk the rope out of my hands. Anna came out with two chains and handed one to Ashley. They both wrapped the chains around Midday's body and we wallked slowly into the barn and around the arena. Midday must of thought we were crazy, beacuase he snorted and then tried throwing us off again. Suddenly, Josie came in licking a sucker and dropped it when she saw us. She came and held onto the stallion's neck trying to calm him down. He would calm down for some parts and then go crazy again. We decided that he was just too much. We led him into his stall and quickly threw in some feed and hay. Of coarse, Midnight to Daylight reared when we got out of the stall. He went crazy! Luckily, we had given him one of the biggest stalls in the stable. Midday calmed down eventully, and knew that when we approached, we would give food. So in a way we had trained him to do at least something. Then, we managed to turnout Midnight to Daylight and put him in a paddock with no other horses. But then, we thought that he surely wouldn't trust a then, so I turned out Dodge as well. He's All That went immidiatly to the corner of the pasture, keeping a far distance from Midnight to DAylight. The family and I went back to the stables, and decided for now, the best way to train him was to walked to and from the pasture constanly.
