Meet Blaze (coming 4yo sorrel mare), Spencer (sorrel yearling gelding), and Pia (bay yearling filly). Some of these pictures may be hard to look at, I apologize. These guys have had a rough go. They need weight put on, veterinary attention and trims. We are working towards that.
A friend of Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy found these three young, unhandled horses at auction, sent them to quarantine and contacted us, asking if we’d be willing to gentle them and find them suitable, loving homes. We had the space and here they are. We’re happy to help all horses as we’re able to.
We are gentling them just like the wild ones we take in. Blaze appears to have had some prior handling, the yearlings don’t seem to know human touch.
I’ve since been able to halter, lead and brush Blaze. The two youngsters are learning to lead by the neck rope (soft flat braid cotton rope) and accepting touch with the stick.
Please keep these three in mind if you are looking to adopt or know someone who is. Branded or not, these horses deserve a much better life than they’ve had so far.
Located in Guffey, Colorado. Adoption contract and fee apply. Please PM us or email us at info@wildhorseoutreach.org if you’d like to know more.
If you have or know of a horse in need of gentling, feel free to reach out. Life is much easier and safer for them when they don’t have to live in fear and can get their basic needs met (vet and farrier care at the very least). We gentle horses of all ages, branded or otherwise, for individuals and organizations. If you don’t already watch our stories on Facebook and Instagram, I encourage you to do so, as we share photos and videos there daily.
