Ragnar is a 5yo bay Mustang gelding from Stewart Creek, WY. While this proud, stout guy thinks of himself as 17hh tall, 14hh is more realistic. He string tests to 14.2hh. One can hope, right!? He is butt branded in addition to the typical BLM freezemark. Why? Not sure but(t) it makes him stand out. …

Happy Accidents
Over the past week and a half, 15.3ish hh 4yo bay roan Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding Spur has started his journey towards becoming a riding horse. “Let me make sure he’s ready to start before he goes anywhere” turned into “I wonder if I can start him”. “I’m sitting up here and I didn’t …

Adopted Together!
Dragonfly and Phoenix (previously Tiny Elvis or TE) traveled from Colorado to Mississippi earlier this week. Dragonfly, a gorgeous buckskin Stewart Creek WY Mustang mare, had been with us for a long while. She has a club foot that – understandably – caused some potential adopters not to choose her. Otherwise she is lovely in …

“Beam me up, Scotty”
I never get any movie/TV references, so Taylor was understandably shocked when the above quote came out of my mouth after I saw that lake picture for the first time. Nobody needs to know that I had a huge crush on Captain Kirk as a kid. Also, I’d like to be teleported back into those …

Wiley update
Wiley, 2yo buckskin White Mountain WY Mustang gelding, is making progress. By now he’s easier to catch, he’s had his mane detangled and brushed out (after this video). I’m able to brush his whole body and fly spray him. We’ve worked through some ideas he had about pawing and kicking when he got frustrated and …

Doing stupid (i.e. potentially dangerous) stuff smart
Anytime we head into the mountains, it’s important to remember that, beautiful and often romanticized as they may be, they’re not trying to be our friends, and that the responsibility to prepare for what we might encounter lies with us. It’s our job to do what’s in our power to make it back to the …

What Spur’s been up to
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 …
