Alamo amazes me every day!  He is progressing so well and I'm excited to get more rides on him!

Ember says "Happy New Year" to all of you!  She is enjoying her training sessions and has been learning a lot of new things, including wearing a surcingle.  Long lining/ground driving comes next!

Ember: Before (June 2022) Ember: After (September 2022) Ember’s rehabilitation is complete ! Yes, she will still be with me until Summer 2023 (due to a requirement) for training, but her recovery process is over. She has filled out so much since she arrived in June, and she has fully healed from her past trauma caused by humans. She loves people and loves to be cuddled (see photo below), and she is extremely talkative when she sees her favorite people. Ember loves to be trained, and I look forward to starting her under saddle in a few months. I can’t get over how much different Ember’s expression is in the second photo - she’s so much happier. I wonder if the people who sold Ember to the kill buyer would’ve ever guessed what a gem this horse was under that wild appearance. We must stop the stigma that says equines in kill pens aren’t worth anything. This little mustang has certainly been worth everything. ❤️ Ember loved when this girl came to visit!

Ember is a lot of fun to train!  She adds a lot of spice to our training sessions with her spunky personality.  She been learning about how fun different objects are - including the ball.  Not much bothers her! 🤩 Who else notices how much better she looks now than six weeks ago ? 👏  CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO!

Training with Alamo...

As a way of practicing and learning the methods of training I will use with the mustangs, I've been working with my miniature horse, Cloud.  He is a great learner and loves the Liberty & Positive Reinforcement Training. This is Cloud's favorite trick!
