[QUOTE="txffamom, post: 861795, member: 17084"] Here I am for an update... Halter breaking was a bit stressful, but my daughter pulled it off rather quickly. Within a couple of days at the barn, she had her tied and not afraid of a little tension on the rope. 2 weeks in, she had her leading to the washrack, trim shoot and scales. They work in an arena that is approx 60 x 60, and the only problem is that when they turn the last corner, the calf wants to run for the gate. And once they exit the arena, she RUNS for her stall. My daughter is working on getting her to stop this. She has changed up their routine so the calf doesnt really know what to expect next. One thing she has almost figured out...If she runs, she gets tied and doesnt get to eat. With her hair...I have purchased the straightening spray from Sullivan's and we will try that and see how it works. Brushing daily, conditioners, etc are not working for these curly patches. She is gaining about 1-2 lbs per day. However, at this moment, she is on hay only due to a bout of coccidiosis passing through the barn. She is one day away from having feed re-introduced. So, all in all, everything is good and we look forward to their first show at Fort Bend on October 1st. [/QUOTE]
