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 he leads, backs and lunges nicely now.
Wiley is learning to move his hips and shoulders and he ties. He’s got a ways to go yet before I’d consider him even remotely ready to place, but I’m encouraged by his progress and hopeful that he can have a bright future with a suitable, capable adopter.
His next big steps will be working on picking up feet, leading in bigger spaces, as well as sending and leading over obstacles in preparation for trailer loading.
*He is not currently available for adoption. He will be if and when he’s closer to being easy and safe to handle, and we know what type of home he would do best in.*
Thank you to everyone who has donated towards his care and training. Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and your donation may be tax exempt.
I’m including donation avenues in the comments again. Your support is much appreciated as that is how we are able to help the “long road” type horses, such as Wiley, Hawk, Topaz and even Dragonfly who have been with us for a while, either taking their time to warm up to humans or waiting for their ideal match.
