Gentleman was coming today to freeze brand one of the colts my wife decided to keep from last year. Unfortunately for me she had to work so I was left with the job of catching the little filly who has had very little halter breaking at this point. Wife and daughter went out to catch her last night and then put her in a smaller pen with a halter overnight, to make it less of a chore when the brander showed up. Well the filly freaked out today when I got a hold of her halter and drug me around the pen for a minute before realizing I wasn't letting go. I was mud and s#^t form my chest to my boots and a goose egg the size of a softball on my shin! Once caught she led beautifully and didn't bat an eye while being freeze branded!
Unpredictable youngstock! Hope she does well at the track for all this.
