On a foggy drive in Lassen County, California, USA, I stopped for a roadside leg stretch near the Dreamcatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary. The animals there have endured a great deal between their time on the open range to their current home. They have become somewhat accustomed to humans but they are still more cautious than most domestic horses are. This chestnut horse was interested in me but somewhat tentative at approaching and paused momentarily to peer at me from the fog a few moments before ultimately deciding I wasn’t a threat and walking over to see if I had something to feed it.

I like the minimalistic feel of the image and hope someone else does as well.

Greetings from Casper, Wyoming, where this morning, it was -7 degrees. 🥶 Alex is here to present at a conference for a few days. The people of Wyoming took one look at this beach blonde Florida Woman and told me no, I should not risk driving almost three hours one way on icy roads to go see wild horses. But I did it anyway, luckily it was sunny, the roads were dry and the winds that can blow quite dangerously across the range were mild.

I spent the day at Wind River Horse Sanctuary, a private farm on the Wind River Reservation operated by a veterinarian and his family (his sons are are also vets). This 1,400-acre ranch is where they raise and break Quarter Horses but 700 acres are set aside for wild American mustangs. The Oldham family adopts wild mustangs from BLM holding facilities that are generally too old to adopt out for second careers (15+) and let them live out their years safe and free. Wild horses from 10 states live here. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to meet the horses and the people here. I came alone and met every person and saw every horse. Wild herds still exist on the range of this very reservation, but their future is in constant jeopardy.

Horse sanctuary local to me has 4 mustangs, Nelson here is the longest resident. They've had this horse for almost 20 years (he came to the sanctuary in 2005) and they have trouble catching him in his "large" pasture (which is not bigger than the pasture Rogue used to be in 24/7...)

The implication that it's because he's still traumatized from a roundup 20 fucking years ago is insane. Rogue was an ACTUALLY mistreated horse. Severely neglected by humans. And it took me literally no effort and just a pocket full of treats to gain her trust and get her to come to me. She would sometimes be annoying to catch, but uh. So would Rain. A domestic paint. Sometimes they're just assholes and don't want to be caught. Rain did not have roundup "trauma", wtf.

I used to really respect this sanctuary but they've gone full "mustangs are magical wild animals and not just horses, and it's terrible to train them bc it makes them unhappy, and they're all traumatized and broken and fences make them sad like in Spirit didn't you see Spirit" and I just...

I literally asked them why Nelson is hard to catch when they've had him for so long and they're like "we're using horse trainers to help him learn to be caught"

Damn guess I'm better at horsemanship than these sanctuary people bc I did not need a trainer to teach my Wild(tm) Mustang(tm) to put her head in a halter 90% of the time. And I've had her for 3 years, not 18 🫠 Guess I'm a magical horse whisperer. Or, more likely, mustangs are just horses and are not the untouchable unicorns weirdos treat them like.

#horseblr #sorry if this post is insane but I FEEL insane rn #mustangs #wild mustangs #sometimes horses are hard to catch #do they ALL HAVE TRAUMA #no sometimes horses are just dicks ok #my god I don't get it #at least they're not as bad as Skydog #who literally don't even fucking gentle their horses #for like ROUTINE CARE they need to be in squeeze chutes #how to tell if you're just a horse hoarder in it for the donation money

Today, in my "counter the phobia" campaign: #2

Item 1: Spiders and other bugs Item 2: Horses Item 3: The oceans and its denizens

First, some background: 1) The current conventional way to train horses is to apply pressure (either physical or psychological) until the horse does the tiniest fraction of what you want them to do, and then reward them by immediately releasing that pressure (even if they didn't do it "correctly"). So the horse learns to associate doing what you ask with relaxation (as the hypothesis goes). 2) The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM - not to be confused with Black Lives Matter) has a yearly round-up of feral horses to avoid over-population, and auctions them off to horse trainers to gentle, and resell them. The horses in these clips were rounded up as two-year olds, and have spent a year in captivity, before being bought by Shelby Dennis (the trainer). And in all that time, they've had no human contact, except by force (horses' muscles and bones are not fully developed until they are about 4 years old, so there's plenty of time to get them used to being around people before anyone sits on their back). 3) Shelby Dennis has a training method that flips the script on conventional training methods: Instead of applying pressure, and using release of pressure as a reward, she tries to avoid all pressure, and instead rewards by giving treats.

The first video documents the first week of the horses after she picked them up, uploaded October 14, the second video was uploaded yesterday, to show how far the horses have come. The reddish horse is named Juniper, and the darker horse is named Mesa.

(I just thought this would give people a better sense of horse body language than you'd get from watching them in movies or TV shows)
