Lacy the sea (ok, pond) monster reminds you that if you have an area of difficulty with your Mustang (or domestic equine), don’t give up just yet. Most people who meet the now 9yo Divide Basin WY mare, one of the Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs, comment on how willing and well behaved …

Some lesser known ways – based on some feedback I’ve been getting – Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy serves the Mustang community is through empowering Mustang adopters and those who are considering adopting via internships, workshops/private and semi-private clinics (at your facility or ours) and remote coaching.

I passed the civics, reading and writing test as part of the naturalization process yesterday. I’ve rarely if ever had that much fun taking a test.

That’s a bit how life has felt recently. Wonderful, unexpected, dramatic and a bit crazy. Lots of great new wild horses, experiences, and opportunities, the tragic loss of our 2yo DG filly Cedar after a pasture accident, Lacy catching a bug, me getting Covid for the 3rd time – so annoying – and this past …

This handsome yearling Devil’s Garden Mustang gelding didn’t let a rough start keep him down. Pippin was facility-born and rejected by his dam. Double Devil Wild Horse Corrals staff kept him alive and raised him, through ups and down, until he was strong enough to travel. No easy feat and a huge commitment. He arrived …

That’s what I think horse packing and backcountry riding do for us: We feel alive and present. In a world where we are often numb, stressed, irritated, anxious or distracted (but utterly comfortable because in many ways our lives are easy… We get heat, cool air, coffee, fuel and millions of items online simply by …
