Today we started with the pool noodle-on-a-stick, then went to noodle in the hand, then to just the hands scratching him. I found several good itchy spots on him and helped him shoo away some flies. He was standing pretty well and I succeeded in rubbing him all over his entire body several times covering every square inch except for his hindquarters. He is still alert to new movement and noises, but has settled down a whole lot.
I have about decided to name him Baja. As you can see, he is a pretty good size for a mustang and fairly thick-bodied. He is very inquisitive in nature, with a kind eye, and a fairly low energy level. He looks to have smooth gaits. He is eating well and is of a good weight. He has developed a little bit of a limp and looks like he may have a splint on his left front which may have come from all the fence-running he did on the first day. We'll see how it does, I may just have to take it slow for the first couple of weeks.
I'm happy with his progress and feel like we're getting somewhere now that I can get my hands on him!
