Who remembers Buddy, the tiny, fuzzy yearling Mustang gelding we gentled early in 2024 for his adopter who had won him in the internet auction?
He’s back, now a tall, striking 2yo.
His adopter has done a great job maintaining what he learned in kindergarten last year.
Life gets busy and sometimes all the adult responsibilities pile up, that’s exactly what happened for his adopter. There’s been little time to continue Buddy’s education towards being lightly started under saddle next year.
We’re grateful to have him back at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy for a few weeks to help fill that gap.
We’re showing him the world, polishing some manners to the expectations for a now 2yo horse, teaching him new skills and preparing him for life as a reliable trail horse and adventure “Buddy”.
Maintaining skills is easier than teaching new ones when one’s plate is already full.
We appreciate when adopters are realistic about their time commitments and act in their Mustangs’ best interest in the ways they are able to, making sure they set their once wild horses up for success in this strange world we want them to thrive in.
