As we approach day 45 and the halfway point of McKenna’s journey with Nova, we took some time for reflection. For anyone who makes that round trip journey to pick up a wild mustang it’s a long and tiring trip (1500 miles and 30 hrs for us) but good lord is it exciting.
Since joining the mustang community we have met some incredible people, everyone has been positive and helpful. This journey that McKenna is making with Nova has been fun, exciting, busy, hard, trying and nothing short of amazing, among other things. In particular, we have been embraced by Katie Ketterhagen and Craig Moore. Having the opportunity for us to learn from them has been enlightening, enjoyable and funny to say the least. Every week we visit with them and they provide incredible insight into ways that all of us can improve and help continue moving Nova to the next step. Sometimes we think we’ve progressed further than we have, and then we learn from them and see how much more we have to learn. They are very honest and constructive with all of us and it has been a blessing. Each time we see them it rejuvenates McKenna and helps us to keep pushing forward, and also settles us when we try to go too fast.
This week, one of the things we worked on was the handling and conditioning portion. As you will see, there is a lot that still needs to happen for the run to be considered clean and score well, however the ground work has been laid and this video clearly shows what needs to be worked on and will be a great tool for all of us to continue self evaluation.
Thank you for following 😀
