Ergon the Great

Tip Mustangs for adoption.

2010-09-26T10:16:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone.
This is the 3rd batch of Tip Mustangs I've gotten. The 1st batch, I got 3 geldings, The 2nd batch I got 2 mares and 2 geldings and now the 3rd batch I got 3 mares and 1 gelding. The Tip program is going good so far and I plan on doing this continuously. The last 2 batches I got them from Oklahoma. It was a very long trip. I'm hoping to go to the next Extreme Mustang Makeover in Fort Worth and pick-up more tip horses and my EMM horse or horses at the same time? I need a bigger trailer !!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!! Hope everything will workout so I know what is going ON !!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! And I'm also doing the YEP program, I'm on my last week of employment. Between the TIP, YEP, EMM, all my BLM mustangs and just keeping up, It's lotta of work to do.
But I do love the BLM and MHF for all they are doing for these living legends.

WOW !! Is Ergon looking good or what !!

Ergon is doing great.
I am getting ready for the Mustang adoption in Mercedes, Tx. It's coming in January. I am also going to get into TIP horses if everything goes as planned.
Well the weather today wasn't real pretty. Rained all day. It was 80 yesterday. It's 52 today and still dropping. Well the horses seem to love it.

Me and Ergon
Well, Ergon hasn't been doing much lately but getting chubby. I have only rode him once since I brought him home and it was this week. I have been really busy training a whole bunch of new horses. No time to rest. I have been training other peoples horses and a few of my own. Currently we have 18 horses. More than half I am training. WOW !!!!! Talk about busy !! Well, Ergon is looking like an Appaloosa more and more everyday. If you want to know what I am talking about he has patches of white hair from his withers back. They are a little smaller than a penny, there are several, and a patch on his rump of about 20 and looks like they are multiplying. Well, I didn't know I bought an Appaloosa Mustang. There could be one other reason he is looking like an Appaloosa, I am training 6 Appaloosas and maybe the spots are jumping off. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 23. 09
We got home today at 2:30 p.m. Whoever wasn't at the show, I bet you are wanting to know how it went. Well, first of all, Ergon did a very good job. In the in-hand course he normally doesn't trot, but I worked him just 5 minutes before the course and he picked it up excellent with the new surroundings. He wanted to stay close to me so that really helped. He did better in the in-hand course than I had expected. I scored a 24.5 in the in-hand course. Now the riding course, Ergon did great but I forgot a few of the patterns. Where I was supposed to trot I walked and in the backing I bumped a log. The score was a 19.5. I bought him easy boots before the competition because he had tender front feet. Never had them before and they work wonders. His conditioning score was a 12 which was a little harsh. I placed 20th out of 48 competitors in my division. Overall, I think there were 92 or so total competitors in both divisions. When the auction started I was hip number 46. I ran in at the last minute and got a bidders number, just in case. I gave my bidders card to Trisha, my right hand cowgirl. When I entered the auction ring, I was given a microphone to talk to the crowd to let them know about Ergon. I blanked out at first and mumbled a little and then the main thing I remember is saying "If he doesn't go for much, I am taking him." Well, the bidding war began. Trisha, my Mom and Dad, and 2 other bidders in a war over Ergon. As I was walking towards the gate, the head lady says "You got him", which I didn't know until it was all over. :-)

Well me and Ergon went to the (Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show Arena). in Mercedes Tx. to do Western Pleasure. Well Ergons right front hoof has got tender again. It's because his hooves grow too slow. I think he will need shoes in the near future.

Me and Ergon crossing a bridge over the canal. He did so good!! I was trail riding with my sister Trisha and her new Paint. This was about a mile from our house. We rode through wide open fields today that had just been disked. He really enjoyed it and so did I. He opened up his speed in the open fields!! WOW!!!

Trisha and our new Donkey. He is the first one we have owned. He's about 3 1/2 months old. We are not for sure on his name yet. We thought about Konkey or Terminator. Maybe you all could have some suggestions.

Me and Ergon KICKING UP SOME DIRT !!!!!!!! LOL !!!!!!!!

Wow, what a time we had doing some sliding stops!!

Been so hot here and no rain yet. We need it so bad. Only 4 1/2 " for the year so far.

It's been a scorcher!! Over a 100 degrees this year for 47 days so far.

The time is flying so fast. I am planning on attending a team penning event with Ergon in the next couple of weeks. The arena work will be great for him.

Ergon sure was hiped up today. His hooves has improved greatly from taking him to the beach. We worked on neck reining today. He does left perfect but when it comes to right he wants to go straight. He was getting dull to leg pressure so I put the spurs on, took it real easy and he took to them perfectly. I even got a couple of sliding stops out of him today. It was 104 today and as you can see in the pic when need some rain. Only thing green now is the weeds !! LOL!!!

Ergon is still takin it a little easy from his sore hooves. The beach helped them out alot. Soft ground and salt water. A perfect combination. Gonna start working on lead changes and more ground work next week. He is willing and ready!!

YeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Me and Ergon went out today for the first time trail riding for about 2 hours. I had him walk, trotting and loping. NO FENCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worked on more desensitizing today, also. He had an issue with the tarp, walking over it wasn't the problem. When it would be flopping in the air he thought it was his worse nightmare coming true. I have a Mustang filly in the pasture with him, and I had the tarp laying around. She grabbed it with her mouth and ran straight for him, flopped it right on his back. At least I had a good foundation on him. LOL!!!!!!!

Here we are using what comes natural to the Rio Grande Valley, a palm tree leaf to desensitize him. Just as good as a plastic bag. We also tried out the trailer loading and unloading and he did it like a pro.
