Maverick is a bay roan yearling Mustang gelding from Bordo Atravesado NM. We recently measured him at 13.1hh. He string tests to 14.2hh.
This guy is built like a QH. He’s quicker on his feet and cattier than most Mustangs I’ve seen. We believe he’d do great working cows some day.
Maverick is sane yet sensitive and athletic. He wears a mare face (see last photo) 80% of the time. You will feel judged and likely are being judged when you’re around him.
He’s good to catch and halter, gets along well with other horses and dogs, he leads, loads, ties well, stands to be sprayed, lunges, backs, moves his hips and shoulders and will lead or send over obstacles.
Maverick is good with his feet and has his first trim coming up. He’s not spooky. Mav loves going on walks and seeing the world.
He’s located at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy in Guffey, CO. We can help arrange hauling anywhere in the lower 48.
His ideal home is horse savvy, able and willing to work with an athlete that’s always watching. You’ll want to put in the time to prove to Maverick that you’re worth respecting and trusting.
Letting him sit, feeding him cookies all week and going on a 2h trail ride every 3rd Sunday would not be doing him justice and I don’t think he or his adopter would be happy.
Maverick would benefit from age appropriate continued handling and training and one day a job where he can use both his mind and body, be that working cattle on the range or in a pen, or navigating challenging mountain trails with his human partner.
We have Rowdy’s Ropes to thank for the training halter and rope and Karyn Miller for the Knotty Horse detangler she keeps us stocked up with.
You can help us help him if you comment on, like and share this post. Thank you, as always, for your support!
