Wiley, 2yo buckskin White Mountain WY Mustang gelding, is making progress. By now he’s easier to catch, he’s had his mane detangled and brushed out (after this video). I’m able to brush his whole body and fly spray him. We’ve worked through some ideas he had about pawing and kicking when he got frustrated and …

Doing stupid (i.e. potentially dangerous) stuff smart
Anytime we head into the mountains, it’s important to remember that, beautiful and often romanticized as they may be, they’re not trying to be our friends, and that the responsibility to prepare for what we might encounter lies with us.

What Spur’s been up to
The big, goofy now 4yo bay roan Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding we brought home last summer has grown up quite a bit. Spur has gone on a number of mountain and water adventures this spring and summer and he fits into the herd just fine. He’s gentle with younger and smaller horses and stays …

Meet Wiley
Wiley is a tall 2yo buckskin White Mountain WY Mustang gelding. How tall you ask? Very. That’s all I’ve got for now. He’s not to a point where we can measure him yet, let alone string test. We were asked by capable wild horse people we respect to take him on after he’d proven promising …

Bareback into the clouds
Our most recent pack trip was a rainy one and required navigating around afternoon rains to maximize ride time. Here we’d made it a point to get out early(ish) and get back before the storm hit. We had enough time to untack our saddle horses, let them graze and have an early dinner before the …
