Day # 10

Brock rode Aztec this morning, we got the walk, trot and canter from him ,he did not offer to buck, things are moving along well with his training.

Day # 9

We did the Jeffries method tonight with Aztec and saddled him for the first time. He did great, bucked only a few times for 10 seconds or so when we asked him to move off with the saddle on. He is super trusting with Brock and will do anything he ask with little or no resistance. We will saddle him tomorrow again and give him his first ride, we wanted to ride him tonight but as soon as we saddled him, it came a frog strangler! That all till next time!!

day #8

We took Aztec out of the roundpen today and let him do a little exploring around the barnyard, very uneventful! We have done tons of desentizing and lots of groundwork, he is a very smart boy. We plan to saddle tomorrow for the 1st time, I will be sure and get some good pics.

Day # 7

We would like to take time to Thank our Sponsors for our mustang, Aztec. We would like to Thank our friends ant Davis Feed & Supply in Randleman, NC and Purina for providing Aztec with the best feeds available while he is in our care. We would also like to thank Carolina Tack Traders in Ramsuer, NC for providing Good, Quality tack for him for his training and Showing needs.

Brock worked Aztec from Horseback today with our 4 yr old Mustang, Chico. He used Chico to teach him to really lead up and give to pressure, and to touch the poll area and ears, also to get him comfortable of the view of Brock being above him. We also used him to shoot a demo video for our website, he was a really good boy and is coming along great! We will update again soon, please see his video on our website

training day #5

We were able to get a halter on Aztec last night, taking it on and off several times, and working on teaching him to lead up. We were also able to touch him all over his body, down his legs and to his knees. His is doing great, we are pleased with his progress!

training day #4

Aztec continues to make progress. We can now touch him on the face, shoulders and poll area. He is a bit flighty and still scared of Human contact, but is showing improvements. He wants to be with us, but after a short amount of time you can see his natural instinct take over and tell him to flee. We are looking to teach him it is a good thing to be with us. We will continue his twice daily lessons and working on getting him gentled.

Aztec, Day # training update

Brock is now able to Join up and touch Aztec on the face, he is coming along nice, hoping to halter him within the next couple of days

We have decided to call him Aztec. Brock is working on getting him gentled and is now able to approach him and pet him on the face. He is really wanting to Join up with Brock and look to him for leadership, we are pleased with his progress after having him with us for 2 days.
