From Trainer Haily Chitwood:
It's been about 3 weeks since I last worked with Padme due to finishing up school and things, but I should be more consistent now.
Due to her break, she has decided she is slightly more "feral" but she loves grain, so that is being used.
I got a breakaway halter on her and when I put pressure on it the first time we had some big baby feelings about it and she took off.
The video from the next session went much better even though she still has a baby moment she came right back and we led around some more afterwards.
She is really smart but she is definitely going to make me work for it!
Padme will be available for adoption at the Dakota Showdown Finale on August 23, 2026 in Lennox, South Dakota. Check out http://dakotashowdown.com for more info.
