    I wonder if Mouse has been Shadowfoot's seeing eye horse as that cataract got worse? That probably makes the separation more nerve-wracking for her. Mouse seemed ok alone, but Shadow kept coming back up to her. Hopefully more work and time will get them ok.

      I know dun isn’t restricted to kigers but it’s a huge coincidence that Spirit has all the other classic traits. Previous owner might have been wrong, or, maybe Spirit made his way somehow to a Utah BLM facility from Oregon.

    I love the training demostrations - this ought to be so helpful for people who are having trouble educating their horses maybe if they can learn from watching these training sessions they can do it themselves and do not need to give up on their horses or send them to slaughter.

      Agree. Or at least realize they’re in over their head and need to hire a trainer. It looks like Spirit was well taken care of but they had no idea how to train him. Bless them thought for being willing to surrender him.

    I had a buckskin, my stud, he was also a Welsh saddle horse and a sorrel quarter horse gelding. So buckskins, red's and Appaloosas are my favorites! Oh! I had an appaloosa stud too 🥰 I miss them all 😭💔.

    That Buckskin Mustang has Spanish blood in him. That puts him into the elite Mustang, a true mustang, not just a so called feral horse. I'd love to see what the other two look like.

    I've never seen a horse learn faster or more willingly than a mustang. I've also never seen a horse more hare-brained and unpredictable than a mustang. However, for the latter, it was only one mustang, and she was completely unlike any other I've worked with, until I found the perfect adopter for her and she settled down entirely. Turned out she was hyper-reactive to being around other horses. Incidentally, good note on how to hold the lead rope... I've seen even long-term handlers loop the lead rope around their hand instead of sidewinding it.
