Zin, short for Zinnia, a 7 or 8yo NV Mustang mare, came to us several months ago for an assessment.
She hadn’t taken to gentling and when her title eligibility form came in her adopter wanted to be sure that if she kept and titled the mare she’d at least be able to provide basic care.
She asked Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy if we’d work with Zin, who wasn’t touchable at the time, to see if we could help her get over the hump
Well, we’re over the hump. Zin has turned into a lovely, smart, quiet, soft, trainable, curious and friendly mare.
Her first trim brought impressive enough results that our favorite farrier and friend CK Hoof Care CBT, APF-I made the before and after her Facebook cover photo.
We’re now talking about sending her off for saddle starting, something that seemed further out of reach than the moon not long ago.
While she’s not available for adoption, Tay Martin and I decided that this beautiful mare deserved a photoshoot to celebrate her progress.
Here’s to Zin, her adopter and family, and the Bureau of Land Management – ColoradoBLM Wild Horse & Burro Program who worked with the adopter while we determined together whether Zin needed to be returned for her own well-being.
A lot of people coming together for her made this work and I’m so grateful for everyone who showed up to do what’s best for this lovely little bay Mustang mare.
