It's Clinic time!

I will be putting on my first clinic of the season! I will be working with mustangs with very little handling and teaching how to communicate with them!

For the last Eight years Mustangs have been my focus! These horses are very overpopulated and they really need our help to give them the best chance at domestic life we can give them!

Mustangs are very sensitive souls and they reflect our souls as humans. Just like us they go through trauma, pain, love, and hope. The feel the way humans do.

This clinic is the perfect opportunity for you to learn how to read and communicate with your horse using body language!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!

DLR Mustang Ranch will be hosting a 2-day clinic March 9-10th with Kelsey Spencer of Wild Ride Equine. The first session begins at 10:00am each day with a provided lunch. Afternoon session begins at 1:30pm. Audit only for this first clinic for $75 a day or $125 for both days. This is nonrefundable and payment to reserve your spot must be submitted by March 4th.

During the clinic, we will use mustangs with little training focusing on:
* Catching
* Haltering
* Desensitization
* Picking up feet
* Learning how to read and communicate with the horse through body language

During the clinic you will learn how to read and communicate with a mustang through the horse's body language.

Kelsey has specialized in mustangs for 8 years and has competed in 8 Extreme Mustang Makeovers. She has been a TIP trainer for 8 years as well. Kelsey has 21 years' experience working with problem horses as well as saddle training countless horses.

"Training horses is an ART to me. The horse speaks through their body, and I listen." ~ Kelsey

Come to the clinic and learn how to speak horse!
If you have questions or want to reserve your spot, please contact Renee Lackey at [email protected], direct message, text or leave a message at 740-457-3984 and I will return your call as soon as I am able. We look forward to seeing you here!!

Dutchess
Ride 1
Give us a Follow to watch her progress!
Feel free to share!

Dutchess is a 6 year old mare from White Mountain, Wyoming. She had her first ride yesterday! She had a couple weeks off from the initial first mount. This mare is so smart. She has so many great qualities. Never puts up any argument, she is gentle, sweet, quiet and love's people.

I picked her out because of Annie. I told myself if I get the chance to train another White Mountain Wyoming mustang, I would do it. Mustang Champions - English Classic Kentucky 2024 . I new she was small but based on her HMA I wanted her and knew she would grow. She went from 13hh to 14hh in 5 months, and still growing. Dutchess is already a fantastic mare.

Tips for using a flag!

How do you introduce a flag to your horse? Comment below!

A flag can be one of your most useful tools when training horses. In Bruno's case, I am using the flag to teach body awareness.

The flag has an endless amount of uses. Currently Bruno he is learning how to move his shoulders and his hips probably without over-crowding the handler. Using my flag as my tool to target the difference points on his body.

Do you have a pushy horse, or one who is constantly in your pocket? These exercises with the flag will help your horse understand space.

Do you have a horse that likes to freeze?

How about using the flag to teach them how to send over obstacles. Teaching a horse to send, is a way for the horse to approach obstacles without any pressure on their face. By using your flag to push from the hind end will help your horse have the confidence to move forward and approach new obstacles. Flags can be the handlers most efficient tool when working with a pushy horse.

Have a horse with a pushy problem or constantly in your pocket?

This is Bruno!
Bruno is currently in training with us. He came in not knowing a whole lot. This week we have been working on teaching him about space.

He likes to put on the brakes at times. Currently we are working on building up his confidence, and doing a lot of feet placement activities.

These are some of our training clips.

Ridgecreek Tack makes incredible halters and leads to help with all our horses. I highly recommend them!

Let me introduce you to my New Year adventure!

Meet Dutchess!
Dutchess is a 5 year old Mustang from White Mountain Wyoming. She is my competition horse for the Mustang Classic held in Kentucky September 2024!

Dutchess is so far, one of the sweetest horses I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I picked her because of my horse Annie.

As you all know Mustang Annie is a very special horse. She was my first Mustang and after 7 years together with Ann, I finally got the opportunity to adopt another White Mountain Wyoming Mustang!

Dutchess is equally as special! Her bravery is outstanding, her trust with humans runs deep. She is kind, gentle, quirky, loving, and intelligent. I am blessed to be her trainer.

Thank you to The Mustang Champions - English Classic Kentucky 2024 , The Mustang Heritage Foundation and the BLM Wild Horse & B***o Program for this opportunity!

Also thank you to Ridgecreek Tack for sponsoring us!

Everyone meet Minnie Mouse. She is up for consideration. Minnie is a 4 year old Mustang Mare standing at 14hh tall. She rides, ties, loads, has been rode by kids, and loves attention. She is a very sweet horse W/T/C, no buck or rear, very sound.

Minnie has a lot of go, she is extremely forward moving. She is very quick and as been started on the barrel pattern. Minnie has been in training for 60 days. She's UTD on vaccines, trims, and had her teeth floated two months ago. She can be very hyper at times but thats just part of who she is. She would make an excellent contest pony, or would be great for endurance riding! Price will go up with more training.

Serious inquiries only. 3,🥕🥕🥕. Easiest way to reach me is by phone.

Hancock Hitch!
He is a 7 year old quarterhorse gelding standing at 16hands. He would make an amazing trail horse, ranch riding, or would be a great ranch horse.

He has very smooth transitions. This boy isn't in a hurry he is very laid back and extremely sweet. He will be available at the Mount Hope Auction this Saturday! He's been under training for two months now and really has matured into a nice riding horse. He is registered with Hancock bloodlines. Pm me if you are interested in him before the sale. Up to date on coggins.

He does have some arthritis in his hips so he will not be a high speed performance horse.

He will make a great family horse!

At Wild Ride Equine we do our best to make solid riding partners and loving companions. Hitch is an incredible horse. Very soft in the mouth and works off seat and leg.
