At least he wasn’t tense. Hahaha. 😂 Good job!!!

[@eponamustangs]

I’d rather have to censor half my video than him blow up and buck me off 😂 Thank you!!

"We got a lovely back-up, but after sitting too long, um, IT started to make a reappearance, so part of this video is going to be a little cut...again." 😂

The struggle of making family friendly content with a gross gelding 😂

[@suzanneyoung8011]

Sorry to hear about your knee. Elisa mentioned it on her Patreon, and showed the picture. Hope you're on your way to a complete recovery and will be back in the saddle soon.

[@eponamustangs]

Thank you!! I hope so too 🤞

He sure does love his scratches!! Such a good boy!

[@JTEllis]

Outstanding! Great work with him and an awesome first ride. I do hope your knee injury heals quickly and you can get back on him soon. Bit don't push the knee too much.

[@eponamustangs]

Thank you!! I sure hope so 🤞

[@abbaspromisefarm4936]

[@eponamustangs]

[@eponamustangs]

Thank you!! :)

[@albatraozgirl]

Boys 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂 You're doing so great with him. Keep up the good work!

[@eponamustangs]

Everyone wants a gelding until they see how gross they are 😂😭 Thank you!!

[@albatraozgirl]

@@eponamustangs Yeah. All the "extra" care of the manly parts isn't fun 😂 I'm a mare fan myself, but I've known a lot of good boys (geldings) in my day too.

Awesome job!

Thanks!

[@sarahsimon9761]

hahahaha dying at how relaxed he was!!

[@eponamustangs]

guess there’s nothing wrong with too relaxed!! 😂😅

[@dmclassical08]

Great work! It is called Jeffries method.

[@eponamustangs]

Thank you! I’m familiar with the Jeffery’s method and I lay over all the horses I start bareback, but I’d never thought to do it in motion until I saw Elisa doing it :) it’s a game changer!

[@laura-francesberryhill7229]

He definitely looks bigger then 13.2!

[@eponamustangs]

I’m 5’3” so I make horses look bigger than they are 😆

[@jayunir399]

how old is he? he looks very young.

[@eponamustangs]

He is seven, he is just a pony (he’s 13.2hh, I am 5’3”)

@@eponamustangs thanks for answering, very well done

[@c_and_l]

hahahahaha i work with a dirty old man gelding (tho not a mustang) too. i can't groom him or even touch him without it coming out. ugh.

[@eponamustangs]

Geldings are so gross 🤢😂

[@suzanneyoung8011]

​@@eponamustangsdoes it work if you slap him a little or nudge him a bit on his belly (while you're on the ground) to get him to retract it? You may not want to do that at this stage in his training, but I've seen that done at the racetrack to get a stallion's mind back on training. I visited a stud farm in Kentucky, and the groom did the same thing on a breeding stallion that he was showing me. I also think that sometimes the stallions (and maybe geldings too) are more prone to do that around women because I think they can sense the hormones. They'll also do the Flehman response.
