My favorite nerd

Here’s Spur. The biggest weirdo with a bent nose. He’s a 15.2hh and growing, gangly 4yo bay roan gelding facility born to a Stewart Creek WY Mustang mare who thinks he’s a dog. My dog, to be precise. We inadvertently spent a lot of time together from the beginning. He had what would be the …

Consultations and lessons with your Mustang

… We offer those too and it’s always fun to meet and help new people and their wildies! A couple of weeks ago I drove north to work with Willow, a pretty sorrel 8yo Desatoya NV Mustang mare with kind, wise eyes, and her owner. She’d had minimal handling in the past and got passed …

‘Nuff said. We can all do better.

‘Nuff said. We can all do better. And, who else is ready for wildflowers and high country adventures? This was steeper than it looks and there was some walking/sliding/questioning life choices involved. Note to self: Believe the lines on your GPS when they’re really close together It was also totally worth it, the Mustangs did …

New Guest

Introducing Zinnia (Zin), an adorable 7yo Buffalo Hills NV Mustang mare. She’s spending some time with us at her adopter’s request. The goal is to determine whether she’s doing right by her if she keeps and continues to train Zin, or if it’s in this little mare’s best interest to be returned to BLM and …

Doing hard things

Up here we have at least 16 seasons. We have 1st through at least 4th winter etc. Another season is “sprinter”, where the weather can’t decide whether it’s winter or spring. That’s what we encountered on a harmless little after-work ride recently. We took one look at the north facing slope and it was definitely …

I hadn’t listed him as available just yet, knowing it would take the right kind of person for him, when that person reached out, …

Summer Dreaming

This winter has been an interesting time. We’ve been wildly busy gentling wild horses, getting adopted horses ready to go home and planning for summer. I got a new German passport (that took a year), applied for the American one (it’s almost here) and got my counseling licence after jumping through all the hoops. We …

Adopted: Cinch

This boy found his person even before we posted him. I received a call from a previous adopter, originally inquiring about Doc, and telling me that her daughter was looking for a horse. Once I heard what the search criteria were, I suggested Cinch. The now 4yo palomino Mustang gelding from Little Colorado, WY is …
