I pull up in my trailer and shut off the engine. Jumping out, I get the chute set up so that she will go right into her stall. Sky is kicking and biting the trailer. She screams angerily. I open the trailer door and she just stands there and looks at me. I click to her and she pins her ears back and charges out. I close the trailer door and then make sure she is in her stall. I set a treat on my hand. She walks over and takes it but then shies away. I smile at her. "It will be ok, girl. Trust me." I say before closing the stall door. I toss in a flake of hay and she starts to eat. I watch my special girl eat. Then I turn and move the trailer out of the area around her stall.

I walk in and see Sky. "Hey sweet girl." I say as I walk over to her stall. She snorts loudly and kicks at the stall wall. I open the door with the halter in my hand. I walk forward slowly with a treat in my hand. She snatches the treat and then shie to the corner of the stall. I stand in the middle with another treat. She walks towards me slowly and I place the halter over her ears and give her the treat. She lets it sit on there, I reach around to put a little on her nose. She snorts angerily but lets it go on her nose. It isn't all the way on. I give her another treat and then put it all the way on. She screams angerily and charges towards m. I jump out of the way. She trots near her stall and bucks. As she stays in the inclosed area trying to get the halter off, I clean out her stall and give her fresh water. Then I give her a flake of a hay and a cup of grain. She snorts loudly as she walks back to her stall. She starts eating and I stay and watch her. We are making progress. I leave th halter on so that she can eat in peace without me bugging her. I sweep the hall around her stall while she keeps eating.

I come back with new grooming supplies that I had went out to buy. Sky looks at me angerily and kicks out. "Hey babe. Wanna try a little grooming?" I ask. Her halter is still on. I open the stall and hold out a treat. She walks forward and grabs the treat. She screams angerily and tries to bite at the halter. I calm her. "Baby, you gotta wear the halter. Shh, now lets just groom you a little." I say taking her out of the stall. She canters out angerily and canters around the small area I have set up. She finally slows and I near her. I have a lead rope in one hand and a treat in the other. I slowly clip the lead rope to her halter and give her the treat. I take out another and click. I give the rope a little tug. I start walking. She follows the treat but then stops when I put the treat awat. I take it back out and she follows. She follows me with the treat. I smile and lead her towards the door. Stepping out, she whinnied loudly and ignored the treat. She pranced ahead of me. I held strong and she reared. Thrashing her hooved angerily. I brought her down. She pranced in circles around me as I lead her to the pasture. Finally when we get there, I let her off the lead rope. She gallops away bucking. I smile as she finally settles and starts to graze. I left her halter on so I could catch her later.

After 5 hourse of grazing ~~~~
I walk out to the pasture. Sky is grazing peacefully. She looks up when she sees me and snorts. She cantered towards the edge of the gate. I can see that cut on her leg. I walk to the gate and open it. I hold a treat out and call for Sky. Sky runs towards me and comes to a sliding stop. She grabs the treat and shies away. I put some grain in my hand and she walks over and starts eating from my hand. I slowly clip the lead rope to her halter. She freaks and rears. "WOO!! Sky it is ok." I say bringing her down. She bucks angerily and spins around. She is gonna bolt. I can feel it. I turn her towards the gate and open it. She tries to run through but I hold her back. I have her canter in circles all the way to her stall. She finally sees her food and trots into her stall. I wipe my brow and near her in the stall. I slip the halter off her nose as she eats. She flings her head up angerily but then realizes that I took the halter off. She whinnies happily and keeps eating the grain. I put in a flake of hay and close the stall door. A few minutes later, I come back with hot bran mash. I pour it into her stall and she whinnies happily again. She dives into the food. I watch her eat. She is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen. I watch her sides go up and down as she breaths wondering if the baby is going to make it. I sigh as she eats. She is the perfect horse. She just needs some tuning.

I walk through. "Hey girl!" I say smiling at her. She flings her head up but doesn't snap at me. Her ears are thinaSDsaagyed but not pinned back. I reach for her halter and she pins them back. I open the stall slowly with my hand extending towards her with a treat. She whickers and takes the treat. I near her and slip the halter over her ears and pull it slowly over her nose. I buckle it and she snorts loudly. I walk out and she walks after me. She bucks and canters around the enclosed area. I walk over to her with a lead rope. She snorts and trots away. I walk over and grab her halter and quickly clip the lead rope on. She freaks and tries to rear. I bring her down and pat her neck. She tries to rear again and starts throwing her head up angerily. I bring her down again and trot her in circles towards the pasture. She snorts loudly and tries to bolt towards the pasture. I slow her by making her canter in circles. We finally get there and I unclip the lead rope and close the gate. She takes off at a blinding speed cantering and bucking around in the field. I watch her as I jump over the fence. Finally, she settles down and I go back up to her stall. I muck it out and put fresh bedding into her stall. I put new grain and a flake of hay in to her stall. I put the mixture of powder and pills into her grain mash and put that in her stall. I sweep the hall around her stall while she grazes.

I walk in that morning. She is in her stall. "Hey girl!" I say patting her. I open the stall and grab her halter. I put the halter on her and clip a lead rope to it. Sky tries to rear but I lead her to the pasture. I unclip the lead rope and she takes off. She bucks and rears and then laid down and rolled. I mucked out her stall and gave her food and water. Then I swept the hall by her stall while she was outside.
