From Trainer Marlee Stortroen:
Day 27 with Vincent
Muddy arena so we worked in the grass and on lunging tonight. In the beginning of our session, when I asked Vinny to move out on the lunge he would want to just try and go off, not looking at me to where I was directing him. If you watch the whole video at the end of our session you’ll see that when I pointed my hand out he looks toward me before moving his feet. That’s what I was looking for. We also worked on jumping around the saddle and stepping up into the stirrups which he was unfazed by.
We are also looking for sponsors for Vinny to go towards his care and training. If you are interested in sponsoring him please message me!
Vincent 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.
