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 …

New Mustangs, part 2
Remember the video I posted of us unloading the NM yearlings where Tay Martin only opened the back compartment of the trailer? Here’s why: There were more in the front. They were too big to travel as one group with the yearlings. Our 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy became a @Forever Branded …

Available for adoption: Firefly
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 …

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 …

New wildies!
Another rainy summer day, another trip to the Cañon City BLM holding facility. I’d been itching to gentle some of the New Mexico Mustang yearlings ever since I first saw them as tiny foals at the facility last summer, and then again as bright eyed weanlings with wild mohawk manes this spring. The plan had …

The second pack trip of the year is in the books.
I went solo on the first one, Tay Martin joined me on the second. Rock packed camp in and out and got in some more saddle time. Or saddle-less riding time as it may be. It’s been work, ride, pack, hike, learn, spend time with people I care about, eat, sleep, repeat these past few …

In for summer school: Buddy
Who remembers Buddy, the tiny, fuzzy yearling Mustang gelding we gentled early in 2024 for his adopter who had won him in the internet auction? He’s back, now a tall, striking 2yo. His adopter has done a great job maintaining what he learned in kindergarten last year. Life gets busy and sometimes all the adult …
