Samson had a pretty tough Tues and Weds as we asked him to become independant of his pal and equine trainer Fred. It was unfortunate that we had to encourage this bond from day one as Samson proved to be an escape artist. He has been the only mustang that has gotten out of our gentling stalls. I have a full description of the first solo outing on Tuesday on my blog. It wasn't easy on any of us. Yesterday was alittle better. He has no fear of his surroundings during the ride- he just wants Fred and his home. He knows a good thing when he sees it!!!!! He had the toughest workout yesterday so far. We rode hard for 2 hours and covered several miles with my Dad around on his ATV to offer assistance if needed. We called it quits and had a bath, rest and some grazing while still away from home. Today we are all resting.
