4yo Arapaho Creek WY Mustang Chief, or “Chiefy” as Tay Martin calls him, is looking for his own human to guilt trip.
He’s like an oversized shelter dog and lives to make us feel guilty when we’re giving attention to anyone but him, following us with his big, soft, expressive eyes and looking rather defeated until it’s his turn at last.
He’s one of the quietest, kindest horses we’ve had the pleasure of gentling at Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy . If you raise your voice at him, he deflates and stops whatever naughtiness he was in the process of committing, looking hopeful that we’re still friends.
We love his imperfect little ears (likely frost bite) and his stunning wild looks that hide a teddy bear character.
Chief stands 14.3hh tall and has the personality of a colorful Eeyore. He needs a little encouragement sometimes and some guidance at others but all he really wants is a friend.
Chief would happily not be asked to win the Kentucky Derby and go Eeyore speed wherever he’s headed. Not a runaway and if he ever does, it shouldn’t last more than 20ft before he goes “that was silly, I’m sorry”.
He’s friendly with other horses and good with dogs. People and attention are his favorite thing though and he will walk away from his food to get some people time.
He’s been saddled and bridled and took it in stride. I’ll be ponying him soon.
He’s ridiculously easy to catch, crosses obstacles, ties, picks up his feet, stands for grooming and spraying, leads and loads. Chief will move hips and shoulders, back, lunge and go for walks. He has not been ridden yet but has the temperament to make that an easy task.
Chief is SA and can travel.
Located in Guffey, CO. Hauling can be arranged. If you’re interested in giving Chief an amazing home and allll the cuddles, please send PM or email (comments can get lost).
If you can’t bring him home but you’d still like to help, please comment, like and share far and wide, so he can find the wonderful home he deserves!
*Yes he’s branded, it’s hard to see because it’s on a white area. His color is pinto, please don’t ask about the “paint”. Paint is a breed, so by definition that’s mutually exclusive with being a Mustang.*
Thank you to Rowdy’s Ropes for the training halter and lead, Karyn Tessman Miller for the Knotty Horse spray and Sandra Burger for holding Chief for these pictures.
