Kitty Lauman gets close to a wild mustang at a gentling demonstration in Puyallup, Washington in June, 1998. We have shared our training and gentling techniques at a variety of clinics and mustang adoptions throughout the  states.

 

We have a special affection and respect for the mustang, which roams wild on rangeland throughout the West and is available to the public through the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Adopt-A-Horse program. Once gentled and trained, these hardy, intelligent horses have proven to be some of the most trustworthy saddle mounts we've ever encountered.

In the summer of 1999, the BLM selected our facility to take part in a pilot program to gentle and halter-train "un-adoptable" older mustang geldings, between the ages of 6 and 14. This experience, during which we worked with nearly 40 horses, taught us a great deal about the mustang and helped us refine our techniques for training these formerly wild animals.

Mustangs from our training program have won top honors in the show ring, often beating domestic breeds trained specifically for that discipline. They've also turned into bombproof trail, pack, and family horses.

Ask us about our special program that offers you an opportunity to own one of America's living legends, trained to suit your favorite riding discipline! We'll help you select your dream horse from the BLM corrals and train it for you, start to finish.
