In training: Lieutenant

Once in a while it takes more than one attempt to find a Mustang the right home. Lieutenant here, 5yo brown Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding, found his person on the second try. He never left here though and we’re glad we got to see it through with him. He’s less than a month from …

Making good horses

Making good horses takes work, and lots of it. Especially with Mustangs because they don’t get handled as early and exposed to all the things we take for granted in domestic horses. It’s also a never-ending process. We’re still putting work into our seasoned horses to keep them good, make them even better, and to …

“On the road again”

isn’t exactly where anybody wants their cows. However, yesterday morning that was the only way to get this wayward bunch back to where they were supposed to be grazing, up the hill and over the saddle from there.

Spur is a handsome 5yo 15.3hh bay roan Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding. He’s been with Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy since summer of …

Valkyrie is a 2yo Bordo Atravesado NM Mustang filly. She was born on range. Val string tests to 14.3hh mature height and is currently just under 14hh. She appears to be bay with ND1 (not dun 1), meaning she looks dun but genetically likely isn’t. We have not had a color test done. She’s a …

Magic follows effort

Magic, when it comes to Mustangs or anything else, comes after the work, not before or instead of it. Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustang Rock is a very good boy. He’s also young, he’s seeing a lot of things for the first time still and sometimes he’s so happy to be going somewhere …

Mustang Sundays?

My last post thinking out loud about offering personal development/leadership/team building workshops on the basis of horsemanship and with the help of our Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Mustangs was very well received. It’s something I’d like to start offering in the near future. I’m thinking starting on Sundays, mid-morning until mid-afternoon here in the …

Some thoughts

I’ve been thinking about a few things I wanted to put into words. Let me know how it resonates. I’m happy to have a conversation and/or go into more detail about any of it down the road. PM if you’d like. The Mustang world was in uproar very recently, and is on an ongoing basis …
