I am a TIP trainer for BLM Mustangs, located in Colorado Springs.
Here you can follow progress with my TIP horses, and I will list other horses nearby that are looking for homes.
Rosie is halfway done with her gentling. I can catch her, she leads well, stands tied, and I can touch both sides. She's learning that being brushed isn't so bad. She's still pretty nervous about me touching her legs, but that will come. She had her first trip outside her pen into the barn alley and did well. Next trip will be outside 😊
Any of my local Colorado Springs horse peeps... I'll be offering pasture board and select few full care spots at a cute little farm in Falcon/Peyton area starting next month. Mustang pens available too. Hit me up if you're interested 😁 Pic for attention. I'll post pics if the property in the next week or two as I get moved in. I'll also be living on site ❤️
Our first trail ride today at the El Paso County Wagon Train 2024
Diva did great! A couple green horse moments, but nothing bad. Diva and Dragon are the best mustang girls I could possibly have ❤️
Belle left for her new home today. She's already sporting a new fly sheet since she hates bugs so much. Can't wait to see her blossom in her new home 💗
Bellamy today. He's trying to hard to be brave
Meet Rosie. She's a 3yr old mare from Twin Peaks CA. She's about 14.2h now and will prob make 14.3 and stout. She will be available in about a month when she finishes gentling 😁
Congrats Aisling Benavides Ruwhiu ! Your two new girls are gorgeous and ready to begin the rest of their future with you
Sneak peek of the new project 🥰
Who's interested in adopting a Mustang!?
I'll be going to Canon City this Friday for an adoption event, and looking to pick up a project. If anybody's interested in adopting a wild one, or having me gentle one, message me before Friday morning.
Picture for attention... This horse is not available
Diva in training. She's doing so well! Can't wait to get her home and out on the trails 🥰
Belle is so beautiful ❤️
Hopefully she finds her forever home this week 😁
Belle is ready for her new 🏠
6 Year old mare from Fish Creek NV. Stands about 15h. Belle would be best suited for an equine experienced home. She is an opinionated mare and needs someone with the confidence to continue her training.
The good:
She leads well, stands tied, handles all 4 feet, ok with fly spray, will wear a saddle without any issues, a d trailer loads. She's brave and not spooky. Takes in new things without a lot of snorting or fuss. She's tall, built like a QH, big b***d, has amazing conformation, and a pretty good attitude overall. She will be ready to start riding with very little more training.
The bad:
Can be a bit hard to catch. She doesn't run from you, but turns her head just out of reach and walks away. She's weird about her ears and will need more work with that. Her go-to if she's stressed or angry is to turn her butt to you and threaten with kicks. She never truly tries to get me, but will toss a leg out in protest if she's unhappy.
Belle is Sale Authority, so no BLM paperwork required. She has a current coggins and health papers from BLM. She's ready to go in any direction. Rehoming/training fee applies.
Located in Colorado Springs.
Belle has come along by leaps and bounds! She's almost ready to find her forever home.
Belle is 15.1h, bay dun, from Fish Creek NV. She could pass for a quarter horse in build. She would do best with someone with a lot of equine experience (not necessarily wild mustang experience). She is very sweet and kind, but can get irritated when asked to do things she doesn't want to do.
The good: She leads, ties, handles feet, accepts grooming, has worn a ba****ck pad and been fully saddled once. She will be your best friend for treats and is very food motivated.
She is pretty ear shy. Can be a little hard to catch at first. She still pulls away sometimes when we are out in a large area. She will need more practice with leading outside. Otherwise all we have left to learn is trailer loading.
She is Sale Authority, so no BLM paperwork required, she will be an outright ownership. Located in Colorado Springs.
Training fee applies.
Belle is a 6yr old mare from Fish Creek NV. She is 15.1h and very stout. Belle will be looking for her forever home in a couple weeks when she meets all gentling requirements. She will be catchable, lead, load, handle feet, wear a saddle and bridle, and lunge in a round pen. Belle is sensible and smart, but can test her trainer. She would be best suited for an advanced intermediate or someone working with a trainer. She is Sale Authority, so no BLM paperwork involved. Located in Colorado Springs. $x,### Training fee applies.
Castle Rock, Colorado, BLM adoption event
Big progress with Belle today. We had a good session working in the barn, got all the knots brushed out of her mane, got most of her body brushed, and led calmly in and out of her stall. Belle will be looking for her forever home soon. She is a 15+ hand 6yr old mare from Fish Creek NV.
Sawyer is doing great! He's a Sheepshead OR gelding here for training. First ride coming up soon 😁
Finally making time to work with the mustangs again! Gideon is coming along nicely. Got all the mats comed out his mane. Worked on standing tied and leading. And working on touching his legs so we can get those awful feet taken care of. He's so gorgeous 🥰
Everyone meet Sawyer, from Sheepshead OR. He's here for training, or on consignment. Depends on how he rides and if he ends up being what his owner wants in a few months 😁
Good day with both of these two! Belle had to have a pretty intense session the other day, but we seem to be making amazing progress now since we worked out our issues. And Gideon is just tense, but getting better day by day. He even let me touch both front legs today, which up till today sent him snorting and running. I'm a little behind with these guys from where I wanted to be, but we are getting there!
Standing tied lessons today 😊
Both Belle and Gideon did fantastic.
Gideon's reaction to his first treat 😆
Belle! She's finally trying to be a partner
Well, we are finally making small progress. No near death experiences today, for me or for her 😅
Really loving Gideon. He's going to make someone a fantastic partner ❤️
Belle. This girl better get her act together. She's an OPINIONATED mare, that's for sure 🙄
Better day with miss Belle today. I learned she's not really good with stress and gets incredibly defensive. She's not a fan of the lunge whip even being in my hand. It makes me feel defenseless going in empty handed ... But it makes her a lot more at ease. Got some good neck scratches in today and got her neck rope off. I'm gonna give her a day or two to unwind and just keep sessions short and simple before I push for a rope or anything stressful. She'll be looking for a home in a month or so when she graduates gentling 😁
Big day for Gideon. I got some first touches in yesterday. Today he got his neck tag off, lead rope attached, learned he likes a good scratch on his neck and shoulder, and got a couple steps in learning to give to pressure. This boy is NICE. If I could keep another horse right now this one would be it.
Dang he's got it all....looks AND brains! He's prob 15.1h, from Salt Wells WY. Got some nice first touches in today. I think it's going to be hard to let this one go, but he'll be looking for a home once he's made it through training. And he still needs a name!
Good thing you're pretty... And I know you're not actually mean. This girl let me touch her in the corrals and followed me around like a little lost puppy. Hopefully it's just stress causing her to act out like this 🙄

Belle! She's finally trying to be a partner <3
This mare is doing pretty good in training. Today she practiced leading, starting picking up front feet, and was introduced to the bareback pad. She will be available once training is complete. Located in Colorado Springs. Training fee and BLM application for adoption required.
Ariel is so smart and willing. She 14.2h and just now turning two. She leads, ties, handles feet, likes scratches and attention, and has been led around outside her pen. Aiming for trailer loading and wearing her first saddle and bridle this weekend. Whoever gets this girl is going to have a fantastic partner! Located in Colorado Springs. Asking a training fee plus $25 BLM reassignment fee. Approved application for adoption required.
Marvel feeling spicy today
Teddy, domestic bred Kiger Mustang colt, feeling good and playing a week after being gelded (not available)
Zephyr is really getting into his grooming 😆
Today Freya learned how to sidepass. She's pretty good this direction. Not so much the other way though 😅
