  MJ the Mustang! MJ is the most adorable 5yr 14.2 h blm mustang off the Nevada range. He was rounded up in December of 2021 and then went off for training at a correctional facility. He was later adopted out through the TN facility from everything I was able to research. MJ is owned by my friend Ellie Stilson who absolutely adores him. He was nicely started when she got him but she is extremely busy and has been planning a wedding keeping her super busy. She realized she simply doesn't have the time for all her horses and MJ deserved to have his new person who wanted to go on all the adventures.

MJ is just so adorable. I believe he is considered gray but boy he is an interesting color gray. Big old dapples and just as cute as can be. He is chunky and out of shape at the moment so we will be taking it nice and slow but he is just so fun!

He had his glam session on arrival and then a little light lunge where he was declared absolutely adorable and fancy. He came out for his first ride and I honestly think it has been quite some time since he had been ridden but he was just such a good boy. This one is FANCY! Whenever I get a mustang, I am always like wait I need to be buying more mustangs and why isn't everyone getting a mustang??? I mean hardy, cute, nice feet, good mover, brave and just fancy types at least this is number three of perfect mustangs for me. He has the canter of a big horse and was just cantering around on the buckle. Super fancy toe flicking trot. I have a feeling he had never jumped but he was like sure that is cool let's do it. Just such a good attitude. He is already quite fancy but gives us a few weeks of work/fitness and look out!!! This one could absolutely rock the hunters/dressage/eventing and I bet with his great brain he will love hunting. We will be hitting the trails with him soon enough.

We have now done some ground driving session to work a bit more on his steering and some lunging to just get him a bit more stretchy. He catches on extremely quickly with anything you teach him!

He headed out to the XC field on 8/11 and holy smokes does he LOVE to jump. He wanted to just canter into everything and good lord he has some springs. What fun he is to ride! Then we introduced the flag, which sounds like no big deal but try carrying a flag on a horse :) The noise/wind/touching/etc can take a minute and not all horses figure it out but of course MJ figured it out and was going all around with the flag. Good smart boy!!!

Today he came out and with a different rider popped around all the scary jump fillers in the ring. Did I mention this one has springs for legs?? My gosh he was just boing boing let me at them kind of jumper which is so fun!! He is as game as they come and as we were riding him around I was thinking boy this would be the most kick butt pony club horse where he could do it all. He could rock the games competition but I really think pony jumpers, eventing, etc. I know he is going to love hunting. I honestly think he will do it all and do it well.

What I love about him is that when he isn't sure his reaction is more to just stop moving. You can see that a bit with the introduction of the flag....omg it's touching me I think I will just stand here and hope it goes away :) I don't mind that reaction at all!

He is sound, no injuries, no vices, barefoot and very very easy keeper.
