How Wild Horses Think

The Wild Horse or Mustang grows up in a band of horses. Survival is attained through a complicated social structure. The family follows the highest ranking, horse or the leader that could be a stallion or a mare. Each horse in the band lives with rules according to their ranking. Horses are extremely adaptable when their leader leaves the family. A new leader immediately takes their place.

 A mustang that is adopted after a lifetime of living free in a family is thinking about the family order for their survival.

To be handled by humans, a wild horse needs are different than they would be for a domestic horse that behaves, according to the way their owner taught them. Growing up and living without human interaction presents challenges to new owners of wild horses.

Learning how a wild horse think is a key part of ownership, training and maintaining that lifelong partnership.

From the day they arrive and for as long as they are with you, wild horses adapt to humans.
