Maple
Adopted✅
Maple
4yo, 15.1+ HH, sorrel mare from Sheepshead-Heath Creek HMA in Oregon. She was captured in September 2021.
Maple is a tall, gorgeous, athletic-built mustang. If you are looking for one for barrels/endurance/eventing/or anything that needs an athletic horse, she’s your girl!
She’s very smart! She definitely thrives when being asked to do things versus told to do them, and she’s smart enough to trust her handler and do mostly anything they ask if she trusts them.
She’s confident and when she decides something is okay, she’s chill and doesn’t care about it anymore.
She yields her hindquarters well, and loves scratches. She’ll walk right up to you in her pen!
When she leaves she will have about a month of consistent handling under her belt! She will require an approved BLM application (which only requires a pen with 5ft fencing or a 12x12 stall since she’s gentled - I can help you figure out a way to get your facility set up if needed!😊)
She jumps right in the trailer and will walk out or back out. She’s been loaded as the only horse, and has also been loaded as the last horse in a full trailer.
Currently:
-Halter Broke ✅
-Leads in her pen and out of the pen✅
-Has been hauled off property and maintains her groundwork well✅
-Can be caught in a small pen✅
-Stands tied✅
-Stands for grooming✅
-Yields Hindquarters✅

-Will walk or back out of a trailer✅
-In progress of picking up all four feet for cleaning, and will have that finished before she leaves! 🟩

I can assist will hauling up to 200 miles.
BLM reassignment plus training ###x
Did you know while not only being an absolute blast, doing obstacles can help build trust and confidence between you and your horse.
Are you thinking, there’s no way my horse would go near that, I’d be a goner, we’re not ready for that? Then this is THE PERFECT opportunity for you to gain that confidence and trust in yourself and your horse! Let’s conquer that fear while you’re under professional guidance!
OR
Are you on the other end of the spectrum thinking, my horse would do all of those, easy peasy, no problem. Then this is also the PERFECT opportunity for you!! I challenge you to come out, and I will guarantee to find and help you through at least one obstacle you and your horse struggle with, or a hole in you or your horse’s foundation that I can help you work on. If not, I will refund you 100% of the clinic fee.
Things this clinic may help with:
-Trailer loading issues
-Focus issues for horse or rider
-Lack of confidence on trail
-Buddy Sourness and barn sourness
-General Disobedience
-Lack of motivation/willingness
-Pushiness on the ground, or hard headed-ness under saddle
-So much more!!

Echo is coming along beautifully in her gentling and will be available within ~2-4 weeks! Please message me asap if you are seriously interested in her, so we can get the reassignment process going!
She’s going to be a hard one to let go! She’s 12 yo, 15hh and STOCKY, from South Steens, OR, and has been tracked and photographed her entire life in the wild!
$1500 training fee plus $25 BLM reassignment. Will need BLM approved application for a gentled mustang (5ft 20x20 pen or a 12x12 stall)
Did you know your horse should be able to back up under saddle, as easily, quickly and smoothly as they can walk forward?
The energy for the back up should come from your body, your mouth, or whatever cue you personally use to move your horse forward (some people use voice commands, “Walk on, Back Up” some people cluck/kiss, some people squeeze or kick, a combination of those etc), those can all be used as your energy to back your horse up!
See-sawing or pulling your horse back every step of the way with your reins is just going to make your horse not like backing up.
This is a newer client, learning to use her energy to stop and back her horse up(and teaching the horse to respond to her energy and stay soft in the process), versus using the reins as her go to. We want our horses to enjoy their job, we don’t want them to dread backing up because we’re hanging on their mouth every step!
I LOVE seeing slack in the reins as a horse backs up!
Look who’s coming along so nicely!😍 his first canter in the indoor, and look at how soft that stop is! This ride brought happy tears to my eyes, we’ve made it over our bump and are figuring this whole thing out! Super excited for Vegas with this cool dude! #wildtomild #mustangchallenge2024 #mustangchampions
Love the natural talent this guy has! 😍
