Adopted Mustangs

We LOVE Happy Endings!

Chip (Chocolate Chip)

Arrival date: 16th November 2018
Location: Sulphur (UT)
Birthyear: 2015
Special: got adopted by his lovely new owner. A match made in heaven as we call it.

Chip was a little shy at first and didn’t really know where all his body parts were and what would happen if he stepped over something. Once he gained our trust, it was a breeze! His specialty is trailer loading. He will jump in so fast, you better get out of the way. He is a cool and funny guy, inquisitive and adventurous. Although he is a softie most of the time, in a herd is is more towards the top of the pecking order. He loves to play but also lovers to chill. With a short summer coat, his mane is a shade lighter than his darker brown body, a pretty cool mix. He is game for just about anything and will give his new owner so much opportunity from trail rides, to all kinds of categories in the riding sport. We wish him and his new owner all the best and many happy moments together.

Earl – Earl Red, now Ozzie

Arrival date: 27th June 2018
Location: Blawn Wash, Bible Springs Complex, UT
Birthyear: 2014
Special: Got adopted in December 2018 but owner passed away unexpectedly and he came back to us until he found his new forever home.

Earl is 14-3 ish hands and a real beauty. He is curious, affectionate and playful. He snorts when is feels insecure. The main trick with him is to go slow and at his pace. When given time to think a little he will go with you through anything. Earl passed his TIP training slow but with flying colors. He found a new owner but is back with us due to the tragic and sudden death (heart problems) of his adopter. Earl was looking for a new forever home and his charm brought his new parents here from Nevada! It was love at first sight and a perfect match! He enjoyed scratches behind the ears from his prospective new mom so much, that it earned him the new name “Ozzie” and sealed the deal.  Happy life, Ozzie and Jo-Anna!

Silver – Silver Bullet Proof

Arrival date: January 2018
Location: Chloride Canyon, UT
Birthyear: 2008
Special: He had ulcers and his belly must have hurt like crazy. With our friend and awesome vet we tried an expensive but effective medicine and it helped! 

Silver Bullet Proof was our first official TIP horse for which we found a new home after training. When we picked him out of a herd of wild horses he tried hard to stay under the radar and almost succeeded. We saw pretty quickly that he was extraordinarily personable and acted like he was a well trained horse who had escaped from a rancher. But it turned out Silver was captured fairly young and spent many years hanging out with other mustangs at BLM facilities. He was put up for adoption many times without success (he must have been wearing a cloak) and therefore was sales eligible. He was the easiest trainee ever. He was pretty much game for everything as long as we gave him enough time to think about it. He graduated with success from TIP and found quickly a home with a family that already has several gray mustangs. Last we heard he was a happy member of the new family, now called “Snowman” by the kids. Happy life, Snowman!

Tango – It Takes Two to Tango

Arrival date: 16th December 2018
Location: Sulphur (UT)
Birthyear: 2012
Special: Tango got adopted to a wonderful home.

 Arizona –  Follow your heart

Arrival date: February 2018
Location: Cedar Mountain (UT)
Birthyear: 2015

Arizona was transferred to us for training because she did not make much progress at her first place. We
immediately fell in love with that beautiful heart on her face! She is one smart lady that pays very close
attention to you and likes to participate. She does have opinions but is very willing to follow along. She is
making fast progress and shows great jumping and dressage potential under saddle. She has never
offered to buck or fight. We took her out on several trail rides even in a bigger group.
Arizona found a wonderful home in southern AZ. We have heard some great things about her and her
continuing development as a perfect and very good looking athletic trail horse.
