is she ready to be ridden? Mustang Zurreal Update!

hey guys welcome back this is another jam-packed update for you so this last week we started out getting surreal used to having a saddle pad on her back we are not planning on riding her before the makeover but we wanted to get her as close to ready as possible as expected she did not like this at all [Music] [Music] [Music] until the [Music] next camille put a sur single on her i had only put a belly rope on zuril once before this so this was really new [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] the next day we took her to an arena to practice for the handling and conditioning class that we're entering in the makeover i don't have any footage of that but basically we set up a mock setup so that we could practice you practice for about an hour and then it's a real practice time i am proud to say that surreal can now successfully hard time this took a lot of work you guys and spanned over the course of about a month she beat herself up pretty bad learning how to tie that's why the halter kinda looks a little janky camille came up with an idea to make the halter more padded the extra padding helps the reel not cut up her face when she pulled back after that i loaded her into a trailer that she had never been in it had a ramp which she had never experienced before but she walked right in like a champ the next day was similar the whole session was focused on getting her used to having that saddle pad strapped on she's really making progress [Music] it's so interesting to me that she has a big reaction to each new piece of equipment even if they are similar it might have been the feel was different with the silicone underneath or just the fact that this was still new and she was fresh and ready to move i accidentally film these clips in slow motion but check this kid out she is so beautiful i love watching her move she wore the saddle pad on her for a few hours while she ate and hung out in the round pen just to let her soak and get used to having it on her back next it was time to saddle her up honestly i was surprised with how well she handled it stumbling out of bed and i still got you in my head from all those pretty words you said it's like i'm wasted every time i see your face i'm losing track of time and space i don't know where i am it's like i'm wasted and i won't waste it and i promise that i [Music] i should have brought my helmet not yet [Music] i'm wasted on you here we are right underneath the stars so let's get a little reckless you make me breathless and i won't waste this and i promise [Music] [Music] yeah well that's good maybe this is finally the thing that you said remember at the beginning you're like oh the rest is going to be so easy [Music] i promise that i i will stand by you forever [Music] [Music] isn't she so cute tacked up all english i think she would make someone a very cute english mount today was the day before i went to camp as a counselor for four days so i wanted to spend a lot of time with her we took her to the arena to practice handling and conditioning before it got hot outside we have been practicing our stopped trot transitions and boy will those tire you out in the texas sun then i saddled her up english and walked her around the arena [Music] [Music] you sweaty huh yeah you did a lot of work huh yeah it's a sweaties i got a blocker tie ring to practice safely tying her to the trailer and inside the trailer up to this point zuril had not been tied in the trailer although she didn't use any of the release it provided it was there in case of an emergency and it gave me some peace of mind she did great with tying to the trailer and tying inside the my trailer then i cooled her down with the rinse off and took her back to practice tying to the trailer it was a good long morning of work for her and it was just fun to be next to her for hours on end i've really missed having her in my backyard this last month it has been so good for her to be at camille's and get a lot of exposure to a lot of different things and i've been able to go and watch camille work with her and also get lessons with working with surreal it really has turned out to be the best decision for both surreal and myself when i got back from camp we took her to get her feet trimmed by a professional sometimes farriers like to just get straight to work and this farrier took his time petting her and getting to know her before he tried to pick up her feet i really really appreciated his patience and gentleness she's probably like two weeks of intensive training away from being ready for a writer problem is we only have one week okay let me brag on zuriel for a second so the farrier is here working on her last foot of the day the first three were successful and everything went smoothly then all of a sudden a dog came bounding over out of nowhere to say hi and snatch some hoof trimmings this is not a dog zareel is familiar with and we had not even seen it yet it darted right behind her and she had no reaction she was a perfect angel i was so proud of her wild mustang who i know for real after the farrier left camille and i went on a ride and left surreal and yoshi tied to the trailer they were napping when we got back such good little mustangs then we hit it off to get their health certificates done so that we can cross state lines from texas to oklahoma next week she did not love having her temperature taken but she didn't kick or anything i think she was confused with what was happening but she did great and of course she passed camille took these pictures of surreal for me i think she looks so good in english tech but which discipline do you think she'd be good at let me know in the comments below as always thanks for watching we'll see you in the next one [Music]
