THE WILD ONES
This project was created in memory and dedication to our rescue and protection of the Challis Wild Horses.
Understanding the challenges that a captured wild horse faces, we decided to assist the BLM by creating this training support. While the wild horse issue remains to be a politically difficult topic, we decided to focus on the horses to help them find a safe future.
Our concept is simple…
… It is grounded in our intuitive way of relating to any horse
… with kindness and curiosity.
A wild horse only knows how to feel safe in a horse herd environment. It is the world they were born into instinctually. Their physical, emotional and mental balance deeply depends on that safety structure! With our understanding of this vital learning component, we allow our “equine students” to remain together throughout their time with us.
The initial part of our training happens at complete liberty. The horses learn as a group without the stress of being separated. Without restrain or force, they learn to work “with us” while gaining confidence. We take time and meet them in their world of communication.
Working with an untouched wild horse is simply magical if you are ready for it. Imagine meeting the purest and most honest way of communication imaginable!
We firmly believe that any horse started this way has a significantly better chance of a safe life and future in our human world.
After their “graduation” (which varies individually) we assist in their adoption straight from our facility without returning the horses to BLM adoption corrals first. Interested adopters are required to spend reasonable and necessary time with us before taking over. We then continue to always be available for future support.
