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:
 
| | Learning to gentle and train our mustangs has been a very exciting and rewarding venture for us. Getting Sparky, Ruby and Benny to the point where we can take them out on the trail is just such a great feeling. However, having put all that time and energy into learning this stuff, it seems a shame to just leave it at three horses. So we occasionally take in a temporary horse, either as a rescue or a BLM Volunteer project, to give the horse a boost toward finding a good "forever" home. We also occasionally are called to help a new adopter get through a tough place with their new horse. I offer their case histories in hopes that the information may be useful to others who have adopted or are considering adopting a mustang or similar unhandled horse. Please understand that we are just lay people - not professional trainers. So if we can do it, so can you!  since 12-29-2006 |
