2294: Blawn Wash Yogi
Yogi is very leery but curious. He has not made contact yet. He has a shuffling
gate when he moves that is quite striking.
Age: 4
Herd: Blawn Wash HMA
Area: Cedar City, UT
One Month Progress Report:
Yogi had some "aggresive tendancies" when we began his gentling which made
for a little bit more difficulty. He has really bonded with Janet and won't
really let anyone else do much with him. But with Janet he will do almost
anything asked of him. He is an absolutely beautiful horse but one must use
a lot of caution when working around him.
0473: Sinbad's Frosty Dream
Frosty is a grulla gelding. This guy definitely seems to be the friendliest. When we went to pick out the horses he walked up
to us in a 3 acre lot to check us out. Has taken feed from Janet already touched her hand from outside the pen. He is definitely the most
dominate with the other horses but seems to be a pussycat with people.
Very flashy grulla with all the trimmings.
Age: 2
Herd: Sinbad HMA
Area: Price, UT
One Month Progress Report:
Frosty is quite the little prankster. Always wanting to check people out
and see what they are doing and always being a clown. He has progressed
nicely and for the most part is willing to do just about anything asked of
him. He is the easiest of the 3 to approach and to try new things with.
0681: Muddy Creek Moose
Moose actually made first contact with Janet while in the loading chute waiting for other horses
to be put away. He is very quiet and timid. He is very leggy for such a young guy. He seems to be the one
having the hardest time adjusting to his new life, but we expect him to come around quickly. Seems to be
very thoroughbred-like; very refined but tall.
Age: 2
Herd: Muddy Creek HMA
Area: Price, UT
One Month Progress Report:
Moose never ceases to amaze us at the progress he is making. Once he
discovered that humans were good for loves and all he wants is more. He
will stand quietly for just about anything once he knows that at the end he
will get pets.
Adopting wild horses to citizens is a humane way of dealing
with the wild horse and burro population problem. The key to
success is educating adopters in safe and humane approaches to
gentling, training and caring for their adopted animals.
