This website is owned and created by Nancy Kerson, a private citizen - I am not the BLM or any other branch of government!

Information about BLM adoptions is offered as a service, to help mustangs find homes and to promote public appreciation of wild horses and burros.

Please direct adoption questions to the BLM, not to me.

And I sure as heck am not a Mustang car dealership!

I have NO horses or burros for sale and am not interested in buying or listing or otherwise promoting your sale animals!

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:

 Ruby is maturing into a graceful and elegant young mare


Ruby & Benny seem to be the most alike in temperament, (quite a bit "hotter" than Sparky or the half-drafts!) so they are sharing the corral at Vine Village this early spring 2002. (Well, let's face it: They're too tough on the other horses - they live together because no one else likes to be with them!) Here they are sparring, but being careful not to actually hurt one another.
 

Ruby has become very alpha. Here she is, establishing dominance over Sparky and "Baby Girl" at the first Jerry Tindell clinic in March.

Through the late spring and summer, Michael nursed a broken collar bone, (from hitting a rock while riding a bike, not from Ruby!) so Ruby spent her days "just being a horse" with very little work being done with her. Her scattered attention span and high-strung behavior did not incline anyone else to want to do it.

But, all things, including bad ones, come to an end... In the fall Michael began working with Ruby in earnest, and she responded beautifully. NEXT
