So today was pretty good overall. X did very well on the lunge line, and had very little problems, it was the first day he was lunged with a saddle on, here at the farm, and he did pretty well overall, he spooked a couple times when the saddle was put on but overall he did wonderful. Don't think he's quite ready to get a foot put into the stirrup, but he's on his way there. Maybe in the next week he will be rideable, my guess, yes he will be, he is a smart horse and knows what he's doing, and he has pulled his way to the top of the herd, and is now the head of the herd, and hates Lightning. X and Twilight have bonded together, and they hate the poor appy. But it happens when there's a Mustang in the herd. :)

Glad he's doing well for you...Poor Lightning. lol Yeah X can be one of the more docile ones in the herd unless he feels like he needs to prove something. In his old herd the pony thought he was leader, but the lead mare definately chose X for that position so he didn't feel any need to compete for it...With my girls Belle used to be the lead mare, but when she started bossing X around he kinda demoted her. Baby could do no wrong with X, but every once in awhile X would kinda glare at Belle just to keep her in line...Belle definately respected "the glare" lol
