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! | This website:

OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
WILD HORSE GENTLING:
 
| | | |  The saddle is just for fun. It will be another year at least before Ruby is mature enough to ride. She looks good though!
| RUBY - BEGINNING GROUND SCHOOL September 2001
Backing up
Going forward
October 2001: We've had Ruby a full year now!
After this great beginning, Ruby had a serious setback. Somehow she caught her leg in either a vine or a wire that we didn't know about, somewhere in her pasture, and seriously cut her foreleg right down to the tendon sheath. Luckily, the tendon itself was not damages, and thanks to some incredible late night surgery, and a 2-week hospital stay with Dr. Claudia Sonder, Ruby recovered with absolutely no hint of lameness. But her time in confinement took a toll on Ruby emotionally, and Michael nearly had to start over with gentling. Eventually she came through this, too! What a survivor! |
