Horsemanship To Gentle A Wild Horse
- Description
- Curriculum
- Reviews
In this course I take you through all I did to gentle Mocha, a 1 year old Canadian mustang filly that came here straight from the wild.
In this course I cover every detail of what I’m doing and thinking to get her to connect to me and build up trust so that we can get her haltered, basic groundwork and medically treated for her ticks, lice and infection in her umbilical cord area. This was a high priority to deal with as it was determined she had a fever and was not healthy.

Day 1 Session 1 With Mocha The Wild Baby MustangThis is where we get our first touch done and a lot of communication back and forth. You all know where this ends by now anyways as we are best friends at the point of this upload, this is how we got there. This is her very first session on her very first day here. We're not wasting time!

Day 1 Session 2 With Mocha
This is still the first day with this little baby B.C. Wildie and I'm really determined to fast track my mission to become her best friend. You all know how this ends in 2 days but here is the process on how I got there. After about 2 hours in total, we had something pretty good going on I think.

Day 1 Session 3 With Mocha
Here is the third session I did with our new B.C. Wildie on her first day here. We've got to get on with making a good friend as soon as possible so we can get a halter on her and get her coggins test done. Here is another step in the process.

Day 3 Session 3 My Favorite Session With Mocha
In this video I share a technique that occurred to me to try for the very first time. I've never seen or heard of anybody doing it, but this is now a solid tool in my toolbelt that I will use much sooner in the future.

Day 4 Beginning Halter Training With Mocha
In this video I show how I get started with halter training so I can have a horse not lose their mind with the rope on them or pulling on them.

Lots happened in this session, I finally got the halter on her reliably and then I decided it's a good idea to check out the possible hernia she has going on.

Day 9 - Finalizing Halter Training Before The Vet Comes
The vet is coming tomorrow! 2 days earlier than expected so I have to kick into a faster gear to be prepared as best as I can. Today we're working on some basic groundwork on the halter and she hit it out of the park I think! It's not all smooth sailing of course, but she sorted things out well.
