After a week or two, we decided it was time to start working with the new mustangs. Donner, the stallion is extremely aggressive and protective of the mare Ghost. We've managed to get a rope halter on him via constraining him but thats as close as we've got. Some of the employees helped move them into the outdoor arena to give them some more space. After about an hour of trying to get near the stallion with no luck, Nicole took her rope and was able to swing it around his neck, getting some kind of hold on him. Donner retaliated but Nicole stood her ground. After a few hours she managed to break down his defensive fortress and discovered the way to his heart was through affection, ironically. It seemed once she was able to show him affection he melted in her arms. Don't get me wrong, he's got a long way to go but today was a major breakthrough. Hopefully we can get him to the point where he isn't to protective of Ghost.

We’ve got a new brand! Took awhile to think of something, I tried to keep it traditional to real life brands where its a symbol representing words. I ended up with the northern star and a mountain line, or ridgeline ending up with the Northern Ridge, thus Northern Ridge Stables :)
