I wanted to show you Freedom the Mustangs dreadlocks. His mane looks good from a distance when you pick up the pieces, they are very matted together. This looks like quite a mission. I will be excited to brush these out.

Freedom the mustang has very tight muscles. I rubbed along his superficial gluteal, he enjoyed it and his hip looked rounder and looser the next day.

Freedom the mustang: Me totally anthropomorphizing. 
"Do I like it?

I wonder if she can find the spot?
Oh, that is good.
Hmm, I really could get used to this!
Don't stop now."

Freedom the mustang says 'I can not look'. Don places his hand against his nose until he pushes back, then he starts to look. Go through the pictures really quickly, it almost looks like a video. Very cool. Can you touch your horse on the nose?

Freedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel Jessop

Sharing moments with Freedom the Mustang. I was on his branded and trauma inflicted side touching him. He started to breathe heavily, time stood still, we started to sync our breath in unity, after some time I slowed my breathing and his breathing followed. We shared a moment of knowing the depth of the trauma he has experienced. Coming from the wild into captivity. Being brought into the stocks and branded, gelded and taken away from his family, as a stallion it was his job to protect them. I felt privileged that he shared this with me.

 Freedom Mustang Rachel Jessop

 

Look at me. Freedom the Mustang has trouble looking/being curious with me. I back up with my body, he looks at me then I can approach. This little dance gets better with time and bonding.

Freedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel Jessop

Freedom the Mustang was pretty nervous about me touching me near and on his tag. With patience and time, he let me touch it. Then getting it undone was tricky. He did really well until it was half undone and dangling. The other side flicked into view of his other eye, then he jumped and one part of the tag flicked over his ear. Then when he settled down I was able to get back in and gently pull the rest of the tag off. Yes! Success! There was definitely a chance in his countenance having the tag removed.

 Freedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel JessopFreedom Mustang Rachel Jessop

Having two hands on Freedom the Mustang was very difficult for him. He did not trust two hands, time, repetition and good scratching help.

This is an incredible story. Freedom the Mustang, got in late at night, then on the first morning Paisley the black lab came into his pen and started to drink out of his water trough. Freedom watched and then tentatively walked over and had his first big, long drink. To top it all off, the kitten is watching from above.

Freedom Mustang Don Jessop

Freedom the Mustang meeting some of the family. Not much dust. Diamond who is usually very high energy with a new horse, only did one squeal and move, then I think she felt sorry for Freedom and left him alone.

This was a funny day. So mustangs should have trouble with things like clippers etc. But Justice the mustang thought it was just fine. Not bothered at all. This is his first clipping and he looked better than some horses who have been doing this for years. So we all had a lot of fun with it.
