The other night I went out searching Searching for Columbines, my favorite wildflowers. Searching for peace of mind. Searching for joy. Searching for learning opportunities for the horses. For a chance to let them stretch their legs. For color in the sky and cooler air. I found all of the above. Wild Horse Outreach & …

Zin – a client horse
Zin, short for Zinnia, a 7 or 8yo NV Mustang mare, came to us several months ago for an assessment. She hadn’t taken to gentling and when her title eligibility form came in her adopter wanted to be sure that if she kept and titled the mare she’d at least be able to provide basic …

You don’t have to fit in to belong
For the longest time Spur (4yo bay roan Mustang gelding, facility born to a Stewart Creek WY Mustang mare) was accepted, albeit not fully included. He’s been the oddball of the herd, the one who stands nearby or wanders off when the others are engaged in mutual grooming. He’d follow Lacy who never really cared …

The pony and the “mule”
Rock isn’t really a mule and Lacy isn’t actually as microscopic as she looks next to him. It’s meant to be a cute play on the Beauty and the Beast, and they certainly are that.

3 Sessions with Gus

Gus is a 2yo NV Mustang gelding adopted from the IA who had apparently decided that gentling was for losers. He made that known in some less than diplomatic ways. His free-spirited self expression and …

Hobbled horses ruffle feathers.
You know what ruffles mine? When a horse is tied to a trailer or a tree, staring at the sky, while riders are stuffing their faces. Hobbling lets horses eat where there’s no fence. Therefore hobbling helps prevent ulcers. Ulcer-free horses are happier, healthier and safer to be around. Which in turn keeps riders and …

Adoptable Mustangs: Dragonfly
Is she not the cutest, most expressive little lady? Her paperwork says buckskin, and Tay Martin swears she’s dunskin, as she has a dorsal stripe trying to appear beneath her fading winter fuzz. In either case, she’s beautiful. Dragonfly 4yo, facility born to a Stewart Creek WY Mustang mare. She currently measures 14.1hh and string …

Life with Rock
… is llama ears, an unruly mane, fogged up glasses and awkward kisses. The biggest of boys (16+hh and counting) is living his best life with the Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustang herd, enjoys meeting people and receives age appropriate training. I’m of the opinion that a 4yo is still developing and maturing, …
