Mustangs 102
Enchanted by the thought of wild horses but don't know where to start? This course is for adults who have always been intrigued by horses but have little to no firsthand experience. We’ll learn all about mustangs, from their life on the range, to the process of being gathered to the adoption and training process, all while learning basic horsemanship skills. We’ll learn about handling, grooming and more with our team of ambassador mustangs and burros. You’re encouraged to tailor this program to your comfort level: anything from learning/interacting from outside the fence to getting in the arena and doing hands on activities with the horses. We will meet as a group one hour per week for six weeks.
Monday & Wednesday at 5pm • Apr 24, 2023 - May 31, 2023 • Ages 9-12
Tween Mustang Training Level I
Together we will form a strong foundation of positive interactions with humans, work on first touches, and getting the horse accustomed to sharing space with humans. We will use Awareness Based Mustang Gentling with least invasive, minimally aversive (LIMA) training methods. Students will gain knowledge of reading the horse's stress signals, respecting his boundaries, and creating a set of clear expectations that empower the horse to feel safe and build trust. We will also work on emotional downregulation techniques to encourage resilience, willingness, and curiosity in our mustang. Our training goal for level I is to be able to halter, lead, pick up his feet and load in a trailer.
