Lydia Rode Him in The Round Pen.
Edward Teach--the wild Corolla stallion that came to us with life threatening wounds on his neck. He never resisted. That which she asked is that which he did. It was a short ride by my choice. We planned to move him down to the round pen in the sand for her to ride him much more but the film crew had all the footage of wild horse starting that they needed. By 10:30 am she was on him and he was calm.
Another wild horse under her belt. Lydia is 16 and she can train horses as good as I can. Her parents produced a first rate kid. I produced a first rate horseman. I am proud of that.
Edward Teach is going to be a first rate Colonial Spanish mustang stallion and will be a great addition to the Corolla offsite breeding program.

You and Lydia are pretty much amazing. I can't wait to see the finished product of what the film crew put together... :)

quick update---Ken has been loading all the content to a hard drive to send it down. We should have it this week to start editing. Ken and the rest of the crew are open to the idea of coming back out for more footage if we need it. I can't wait to start combing through the 25 hours of footage. (3 cameras, 2 days) to see what's there. I found a possible funding source for a bigger effort through the Academy of Sciences. Proposals due May 16th.
