Corey Rogers has a sense about horses, about what makes them tick and what it takes to mold them like a lump of clay into a thing of beauty and trust.
"I just like it, "Rogers said from a barn at Chiefland's White Farms Friday where he works as a trainer. "This is about the only thing I've found I'm good at."
Rogers, a Chiefland native, likes it so much he moved away to Nevada to train horses after graduating high school in 2007. In June, Rogers came home with intentions to stay, but he wasn't alone.
"He was a little butt when we first got him," Rogers said, referring to the 2-year-old mustang he affectionately calls L.P. "He was real standoffish at first. Didn't care too much for ya'. Didn't care too much about anything."
Rogers got L.P. —who he compares to the kid in the "back of the class who doesn't mess with anybody as long as nobody messes with him" —from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management at a holding facility in Georgia shortly before he returned to Chiefland.
