Jäger 🙃

The most difficult, patience testing, cutest horse I have ever handled 😅

Jäger has been with me a year now, and has by far been the toughest horse I have ever worked with. He has try (til he doesn’t) he’s scared of his own shadow (until recently) and is a magician with his tongue and gets it over every single bit and over every gimmick I’ve tried every time.

Hes also going to be the most rewarding horse I have ever worked with. I wish I could have had a video of every interaction with this horse since the day I brought him home. He has come leaps and bounds. We took our time to do it right. To help him find his confidence (very… VERY slowly) and he’s turned into such a cool horse to ride.

Jäger is the poster mustang to prove that these are not a cheap horse you just go run and pay $125 for and get some easy horse. Are there easy ones out there? Yeah, I’ve had them. Are there bat s**t crazy ones? Yeah, I’ve had them. And then there’s ones like this guy, that have the try and the desire, but don’t even know where to begin to let their wall down. Mustangs aren’t a fairytale 9 times out of 10. And I’m a very blunt trainer that will be the first to say I will not just go tell any random person “hey! You should get a mustang!” No. They take time, lots of it. They take patience, LOTS OF IT, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, they take money! To send to someone who does! There’s plenty out there that just want to be domestic and want to do everything right, I’ve had them. But I’ve also had a lot more that don’t have that desire very quickly, or ever.

I’m so thankful for Jäger’s owner, who gets it, and has trusted me every step of the way to not push this guy past his threshold. It’s going to be worth it, I’ve witnessed who he was and who he’s becoming. But this has taken time, patience and money on her end.

We took the 2 yr old to the hills and hand her pack water for us. She was a trooper and really figured out placing her feet. It’s tough when you’re following the rock crushing range rat that trucks up any and everything like it’s nothing. Kokanee was a pro ponying Martini through some tougher terrain. She kept her in place and showed her where to place her feet. Kokanee is a gem at 4 yrs old, such an old soul.

This 2yr old Gypsy/QH filly is the 💣 we went out on an easy trail ride around the property and she was perfection. She’s such an old soul but so athletic. She will be available in the next year.

Pretty excited to watch this 2 yr old quarter horse/gypsy filly blossom. If you plan to be in the market for a phenomenal family horse, keep your eyes on her in the future! 😍 This is the end of her 5th ride!

This guy has made some big leaps the past two days. Ransom is available, and his price will increase the longer he’s with us. He’s a titled 5 yr old Little Colorado WY gelding with quite the past. If he looks like your forever horse, please message us to meet him!

Repeat after me… 🗣️ you cannot train through pain! This mare was recently dropped off, and had already had a saddle start last year and was going well under saddle. During our sessions, this mare was aggressive when asked to work, and bucked like a dirty rank bronc the first time we saddled her. But these reactions weren’t matching up to her in your pocket personality. She was twitching in her withers and shaking her head a lot, cross firing, and just flat out angry. After consulting with the body worker, she was out in her shoulders, withers, ribs, and hips. 2 days later, and she was a saint. Cross off all of the pain possibilities before writing them off. They can’t speak when they’re in pain, but they’ll show you if you just pay attention.

Thank you Strikin Rich Equine Body Work for always making these horses feel their best.
