Wild Horse Mentor

Tips and Advice to Wild Horse Adopters

You've read books, watched videos, and talked to several trainers. But now that the adoption is over, and your horse is home....what do you do? Where do you begin when you cannot even touch the horse? What if he gets loose, injured, or sick? Who do you call? You need somebody who has experience working around wild horses. You need a wild horse mentor, somebody who has been in your shoes, and knows what you are going thru.

I have experience from working with several BLM mustangs, as well as many domestic horses and use a training program based on the Knowledge, Understanding and Savvy.

KNOWLEDGE:  What you learn, after you know it all, is what really counts.  Don't use gadgets or gimmics, keep things simple, kind, and effective. Don't rely on tack or equipment to train a horse, use your mind instead.

UNDERSTANDING: Learn to communicate with your horse. Listen to what he tells you. Modify your training style depending on the needs of the horse. Think fast and move slowly. Be Positive, Progressive and Persistant in all that you do.

SAVVY: You need a positive attitude, focus, feel, timing, trust, and imagination to allow the horse time to think and choose his response. You need to give the horse time to talk back to you. To develop a life-long partnership of Love, Language, and Respect.
