“Do you know why this new mustang is showing these behaviors?🧐”
A lot of the time in the holding pens, mustangs are sorted and pushed around by the wranglers on horseback. Becoming anxious and moving around their stall is a habitual reaction. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they are afraid of you riding near them, they are simply reacting on what they have been conditioned to do since round up.
Now, how do we transition this behavior into them not caring about you or your horse?🤔
Placement is everything! Put them in a stall that is along the arena fence so they have constant interaction with riders on horseback throughout the day. This would be a gradual desensitizing technique to reach your goals without having to focus session time redirecting this behavior. Maybe giving an extra pass or two while working horses wouldn’t be a bad idea either😉

Background: This is CSH Sage. She has been here for 2 days now since she was picked up from Glen Rose, TX. This is her first time seeing me riding a horse in the arena.

Check her out 🤩 CSH Chia’s 4th ride in the arena and she is really starting to throw her 🍑 in the ground😍! Thank you Isidro Espinoza Horsemanship for grabbing this video of her
CSH Beau is like no other! He has been sitting for a few days and I just hopped on him bareback with no problem! How he is still looking for his forever home is such a puzzle to me🤯He is a mustang you can just hop on and do WHATEVER with- trails, arena work, obstacles, you name it! He cant wait to meet his match😉
I’m having so much fun training CSH Chia for the mustang magic! Week 2 progress!
Khali and I and the IEH team are 1 day away from the Mustang Champions - English Classic Kentucky 2024 😱Our journey started a lot later than the majority of the other competitors, but this INSANELY talented pony is ready to give it her all! I have officially been riding English for a couple months now, along with jumping, so this is all new to me as well!! I have A LOT of gratitude towards Isidro Espinoza Horsemanship for preparing me for this. The late nights/ early mornings you have spent with me is something I will always be grateful for! Here’s a video of all of Khali’s "FIRSTS"
Exciting news to come about this adorable 12hh Adobe, WY mare! But for now enjoy her first session getting her halter on and going from #3329 ➡️Khali Comment below your ideas of what you think the plan with her is 😉

What song comes to mind when you see this? I need to turn it into a reel 😂
If you want a good minded mare, Sol is your gal. She is completely unbothered by the chaos I caused behind her 🤣 Isidro Espinoza Horsemanship and I were running through freestyle ideas last night, this one might need to go back to the drawing board… 🙈
CSH Girasol aka Sol is now the name of this beautiful black mare formerly known as CSH Tusa. We decided to change her name to give her a fresh start and Tusa just never seemed to fit her.
Sol and I have been working hard everyday training for the mustangs champions show. I had to come on here and show off her getting her first lead from a walk transition🤩
We are on our last leg to NY and should be arriving later this evening 🥳 These 4 mustangs are being troopers through this whole experience and have settled in immediately to each of our over night stays.
HUGE thank you to the wonderful family apart of the mustang community who opened their home to us last night to get a fresh start on the road today!
Next stop New York!! 🎯
Here’s a little rainy day fun with Zeke! I’m always so impressed with how quickly he picks things up. He’s such a fun horse to work with!
