Day 3, June 15, 2008

Today we built a shute to run the Mustang into, this will allow me to get my hands on him to let him know I mean him no harm.  He is very tense and jumpy, but I rubbed on him until he got quiet.  He then allowed me to put a halter on him and I opened the shute and repeated the process.  I also repeated the process I started yesterday with the rope.  He still won't allow me to touch him outside of the shute, but will follow me some when I walk away.  

Building his trust will take time and patience.
