Firefly is a 2yo buckskin Mustang filly from Bible Springs UT. She string tests to 15hh and already towers over my 14.1hh riding horse (Lacy). Her mane and tail got chewed off in holding and are slowly growing back.
She’s been out to summer pasture with one of the big Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustang boys until recently. Her assignments there were mowing and growing. She’s done both.
She remained friendly even with infrequent handling, enjoyed walks with the dogs in the neighborhood when I visited, never batted an eye at “people stuff” (houses, cars, and other strange objects) and respects regular wire fences.
She leads, loads, ties and trailers well, has since had her second trim and has never met a stranger. She ground drives and wears a saddle.
Starting her under saddle when she’s old enough should be a non-issue.
Firefly learns most things the first time around and with zero drama. She ponies well at all gaits, including a gallop, crosses water and is trustworthy in wide open spaces as well as in the dark.
We trailered out for a ride on public land this past week and I ponied her. She fell right in line with the grown ups, didn’t mind the dogs one bit, and was happy to be out and about.
Firefly is confident, loves people, attention and adventures. She’s laid back and not interested in running away with or from you. She’d enjoy being a mountain/trail horse or have fun in the show ring, assuming your main goal isn’t to win at speed events.
Her ideal human will set boundaries and enforce them. While a less confident horse may need their hand held, a more confident horse (like this one) tends to need to be reminded of what the rules are. Once they understand that those are immovable, they’ll go anywhere for you.
I love a confident horse and she’s going to make her human an amazing partner. She’s absolutely suitable for a first time Mustang home.
Firefly is good with dogs and gets along well in a herd.
We’re located in Guffey, CO. We’re happy to help arrange hauling. She is SA and can travel.
Let us know if you’re interested in adopting her. Contact info is in the video or message us here.
Please as always comment, like and share to help spread the word. It takes a village to find wonderful homes for these horses and we’re so grateful for ours, thank you!
