Calling Nash anything short of spectacular would be doing him an injustice.

I picked him for his kind eyes and curious expression and only later noticed how tall, handsome and athletic he really is.

Nash is a 4yo Stewart Creek WY Mustang gelding. He is grey, and will continue to grey out as he ages. Currently measuring 15hh tall, Nash string tests to 15.2hh mature height.

Nash is not your sleepy trail pony, not a good first horse for a novice and generally not for the faint of heart.

He is however smart and kind, athletic and willing and will make an excellent partner for someone who appreciates the spirited, intelligent and sensitive nature of a Spanish horse or Warmblood.

Nash effortlessly crosses obstacles – leading and sending – , leads, loads and ties, stands for grooming and spraying and picks up his feet. He lunges, backs, moves hips and shoulders.

He learns new things quickly, is curious and age appropriately playful, and has been good with dogs as well as horses from yearling to mature, both mares and geldings.

He can get nervous when he’s unsure and will do best with calm, confident, kind but firm handling.

Nash is available for adoption through Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy in Guffey, Colorado. Thanks to reputable, experienced haulers he can be transported anywhere within the lower 48 should his adopter prefer to have him picked up here and delivered.

If you aren’t already, a good first step is becoming approved to adopt through us by electronically submitting an adoption application on w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g

If you have questions, feel free to email or PM, text or call us and we’ll get back to you as soon as we are able to.

Thank you all so much for your continued support! Please share, like and comment on Nash’s post to help him find the best possible home.

Thank you Tay Martin for holding this handsome boy for his find-a-human photoshoot.

Some moments and memories from May (time flies!) when the double duns – Mustang mares Lacy and Echo – and I joined in on Colorado Pack Company LLC (CPC)’s Edventure.

A week-long immersion into all things packing was an incredible experience. Especially since we did it with Twin Peaks filly Echo less than 2 months out of holding.

It was also Divide Basin mare Lacy’s first big outing since returning to work after having much of last year off due to injuries.

The first part of this video is our first ever river crossing together and Echo’s first time packing a super light load.

I was terrified of the fast moving water, worried about whether Lacy’s legs would hold up and not sure what Echo was going to do. Thanks to Gabe’s friendly encouragement and Tanner ‘s cheerful optimism, we made it to the other side and felt mighty accomplished for feeling the fear and doing it anyway.

Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy (WHOA) Ambassador Mustang mares Lacy and Echo made me proud. We learned a lot (I love learning, it’s one of my favorite aspects of horsemanship, there’s always so much more to discover and improve) and I’m grateful for the friendships forged during that week.

Packing season is here. The Mustangs, Shepherds and I are itching to get out and put new techniques and gear to use. I’m planning several backcountry trips and I’m so beyond excited!

If you’re interested in a deep dive into backcountry travel and camping with equines – there’s always more to learn that’ll keep you and your stock safer and more comfortable – I highly recommend CPC. They’re doing at least one more Edventure (Education x Adventure) this summer.

We did one day packing workshops/demos last summer. We’re considering doing that again this year, it’s just such a darn busy season for us. Let us know if there’s interest and we’ll talk about it.

WHOA is located in Guffey, Colorado. CPC just outside of Pagosa Springs on the western slope of our beautiful state. Maybe we can convince Gabe to come this way and teach sometime, that could be a lot of fun too!

Nemo is a 3yo tri-colored pinto Mustang gelding with one fish ( = blue) eye. He was facility-born to a Stewart Creek WY mare and is freezebranded.

This flashy boy currently stands 14hh tall and string tests to 14.2hh. He is located in Guffey, CO. We work with reputable haulers who can transport anywhere within the continental United States.

Nemo is a kind, easy-going gelding with enough spunk and brains to be part of a drill team or a great partner for trail riding or any other equine activity, with age-appropriate continued training. He would like to find a job that involves working at all gaits. Nemo is level-headed yet not lazy.

He can display developmentally appropriate goofiness (3 year olds are very much the teenagers of the horse world). He needs continued guidance in order to remain on a good path.

Nemo is easy to catch, he leads, loads and ties, moves shoulders and hindquarters, lunges, sends over obstacles, stands for grooming, picking up feet and spraying. He’s friendly with other horses and has shown no aggression towards dogs.

He is a fun horse who’s looking for a fun human to adventure and grow with. He would be suitable as a first Mustang for someone with previous horse experience.

Nemo is available for adoption through Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy . If you are not yet approved to adopt through us, a great first step would be to fill out and electronically submit our adoption application at

w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g

Feel free to email, PM, call or text with any questions.

If he’s not your type or you’re not ready/able to adopt, you can still help us help him by sharing, liking and commenting on this post to increase reach and connect Nemo with the wonderful home he deserves.

This lovely 3yo Little Colorado, WY Mustang mare left for her home in the Lone Star State last weekend.

It was a pleasure meeting her adopters and a wonderful reminder that the right situation is out there for each of the Mustangs in our care.

We’re excited to see what Eclipse’s future, both on the trail and in the show ring, holds and happy to be part of so many happy new beginnings for Mustangs and their humans all over the country.

If you’re interested in adopting a gentled Mustang, Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy (WHOA) currently has 10 lovely wildies, yearlings to 4yo, from both BLM and Forest Service, looking for their person.

Visit w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g to see them and learn more about them. Feel free to email, call, text or PM with any questions.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping wild horses successfully transition from holding pens to loving homes. WHOA is located in Guffey, CO. We have a list of reputable haulers who can transport Mustangs anywhere within the continental United States.

Lacy recently had a cough for a couple of weeks and then I got sick, so we’ve been laying pretty low on getting out on adventures, even missed out on not one but two invitations to spend a week in the saddle exploring new country.

Until yesterday. We went on a lovely morning ride with friends in search of columbines – the state flower and one of my favorites – and other beautiful wildflowers.

I had intended to take Lacy, Echo and the Shepherds. DG Griffin was having none of it and invited himself. Just hopped in the trailer and looked at me like “What are you going to do now?”

He did that a few weeks ago and accidentally found himself on his first ever cattle drive, so I figured he’d be fine on just a joy ride. Tiny really wanted to come too, but I figured 3 Mustangs and 2 dogs were enough to keep track of.

Fun was had by all. The dogs enjoyed stretching their legs and cooling off in spring water along the way. 9yo Divide Basin mare Lacy was happy to be in the lead and able to cover ground without coughing and 2yo Twin Peaks CA filly Echo (ponied) was her usual easy-going self.

Devil’s Garden yearling gelding Griffin tagged along loose and loved it, never straying far from the herd. Salt Wells WY boy Tiny was especially happy when I brought his friends back to him after our ride.

I love gentling and finding homes for wildies. Exploring and spending quality time with the Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy Ambassador Mustangs is what I look forward to whenever I can make time.

Denali is wearing Rex Specs per vet recommendation for an eye condition.

Dark bay Devil’s Garden Mustang gelding Rohan (DG Rohan) standing half an inch over 14.2hh tall, has been a bit of an enigma.

Rohan is listed as 3yo on his paperwork (he was gathered last fall), yet neither looked nor acted 3 when he got here. He has a big presence, quiet seriousness and an air of wisdom that most very young horses lack.

He was more guarded than I would have expected, could focus better and took longer to warm up to new ideas than he should have as a 3yo.

Fast forward a few sessions and we were able to send photos of his teeth to Patty and Jim Latham Jr. . As it turns out, Rohan doesn’t behave like a baby because he isn’t one.

He’s approximately 4 1/2yo according to his teeth and at an entirely different place in his mental and physical development than a 3yo. That is much more in line with his appearance and behavior.

Rohan took a while to let his guard down, I worked pretty hard to even get past his eyes. Yielding to pressure, navigating gates and obstacles was a discussion all of its own. Since he has warmed up to humans, he’s an entirely different horse.

He’s calm and self assured, brave and willing, athletic without being “hot”. He demands attention and enjoys learning and seeing new things.

Rohan can navigate his way out of a bind and has little “stranger danger”. He would like to find a human who will nurture his intelligence and athletic ability.

This boy is easy to catch, leads, loads , ties, sends over obstacles, lunges, backs, yields shoulders and hindquarters, stands for grooming and spraying and is good with his feet. He’s going to make an incredible partner for the right adopter.

Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Guffey, CO. Thanks to reputable, wild horse savvy haulers, our Mustangs can be shipped anywhere within the continental United States.

Thank you to Tay Martin for holding the handsome boy for photos , Rowdy’s Ropes for the training halter and lead rope and Karyn Tessman Miller for the Knotty Horse products that made Rohan’s mane and tail easy to brush as well as extra shiny and beautiful.

I’m back *cough cough*.

I was sick as a dog this past week. Being able to be outside working with wild horses has never felt so good as it did after a few days of mostly sleeping.

The Mustangs are back to work and picked right back up where we left off, yay for good-minded wildies!

I hadn’t announced the adoption of Cinder yet, 3yo dun roan (yes, that’s a thing, leg barring, dorsal stripe and all; she’s essentially dun in the winter time) Mustang mare, facility born to a Stewart Creek WY mare.

Cinder is a smart, athletic and quirky mare who had the potential to be fantastic in the right hands or a total basket case in others.

Once that became clear, I reached out to two previous adopters and told them I had a horse that needed a person like them, hoping they would know someone suitable. Even luckier than that, one of them was in fact looking for another Mustang to add to the family.

I’ve been receiving many happy updates since the day she picked up her new friend. Today I got a picture of her first “sit” on Cinder.

Happy trails Nicole-Pi Musmanno Vinzant and Cinder!

Thank you everyone for your continued support, through volunteering, donating, adopting, buying merch, sharing, liking and commenting on our posts. Thank you also to our clients who send their Mustangs to us for gentling, book gentling lessons/workshops or coaching calls.

You are instrumental in helping Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy continue to help wild horses transition from holding pens to loving homes, one Mustang at a time!

We have several incredible wildies currently looking for humans of their own. Check them out on w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g and feel free to email or PM us with any questions.

This sweet boy has been adopted and is off to saddle training with Rhett H. Winter Horsemanship who also picked him up from us, before he heads to his new home in New Mexico.

Woodrow is a handsome, kind, slightly dorky 5yo NV Mustang gelding. He found a human who loves him for who he is and a career that’s right for him, and we’re so happy for them both.

His adopter has adopted from us before and has since been befallen by the “potato chip syndrome”: You can’t have just one

With your support we are able to give each Mustang the time it takes to find just the right home and person. Thank you for helping us help them!

We currently have two wonderful wildies in the process of being adopted and several great ones looking for their very own homes.

If you’re interested in adopting, go check them out at

This outgoing little lady is going to be a super fun partner for her adopter thanks to her calm confidence and willingness to learn.

DG Rosie is a beautiful, tall bay Devil’s Garden yearling Mustang filly with an adorable blaze and a hint of a Roman nose, already standing 13.1hh tall and string testing to 15hh. She has plenty of bone without appearing heavy.

Rosie is the first Mustang Tay Martin gentled and I’m so proud of them both!

The little lady is easy to catch, leads, loads, backs, yields shoulders and hindquarters, lunges, sends over obstacles, picks up her feet and stands for bathing and spraying. She enjoys attention, loves going for walks and is good with dogs.

She would make a good first Mustang and will grow into a confident, honest, smart, all-business type mare.

Rosie is available for adoption through our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy in Guffey, Colorado. If you aren’t already approved to adopt through us, please fill out our adoption application online at w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g

We encourage you to let your references know to expect a call as that expedites the process, making it easier for everyone involved. You can view our other adoptable Mustangs there also.

Rosie came to us earlier this spring from the Double Devil Wild Horse Corrals . We are happy to provide our list of reputable haulers if you are not able to transport her yourself.

Please comment, like and share to help this lovely filly find the amazing home she deserves.

A joyful video of Wyoming Mustangs Lacy and Gus and two exuberant German Shepherds racing Tay to the gate.

Bringing wild horses out of holding and offering them a chance at a happy, new life with humans is a beautiful thing.

More important than merely “saving” a Mustang is keeping them safe, and yourself. That means giving them the education they need to thrive in our world.

If you’re giving a Mustang that’s struggling to adjust to domestic life a soft place to land and are able to do so in a way that their basic needs (trims, vet care) can safely be met, good on you.

If that’s not the case, for your sake and theirs, actively help them learn how to live in our world fear-free, be enjoyable to be around, and teach them skills. That will keep them safe whether you’re their forever human or a stepping stone on their journey.

Lacy has been out of holding since 2017, Gus since this year. They’re loving living “wild with benefits”, just being horses as well as interacting and adventuring with people.

If you’re struggling with your Mustang or have questions before adopting, would rather adopt a gentled Mustang or are looking for someone to gentle a wild horse for you, Wild Horse Outreach & Advocacy is here to help you.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Guffey, Colorado. We help adopters nationwide. Reach out via PM or email, or learn more about us and our adoptable Mustangs under w w w . w i l d h o r s e o u t r e a c h . o r g
