My Sheila is amazing. She is so smart, so funny and so very loving that she has been referred to as a love bug.She was not always that horse that I have. It is thanks to Horsetenders that she became a horse that could be adopted. From what I was told, and the scars on her back are a reminder, my girl was very poorly treated and humans were not to be trusted. It took a lot of time to get her to trust again. That is what Horsetenders gives to each mustang that comes to them. The horses get the time they need, the love, the patience and the training to become a horse that can have a home.
It was by dumb luck that I found Horsetenders through an ad at horseclicks.com. That is where I first saw Sheila. I then went up for my Mustang Experience and met the horses. So beautiful and healthy with plenty of room for all. I expressed interest in Sheila and Stephanie suggested I spend some time with her to get to know her.
I went up several times and worked with Sheila with the guidance of Nik and Kris. She quickly wormed her way into my heart and I bought her. While my barn was getting built she continued to stay at Horsetenders and I spent 1-2 days a week for several months working with her and taking lessons on her.
While spending my time up there I was able to watch them work with the horses that were just learning to trust humans. These are horses that have been badly abused. The process is slow and cannot be rushed. It was amazing to see a horse change through their positive respectful approach.
If you meet my Sheila now you would never guess that she lived through such dark and sad times and that she could not be handled. She is a dazzling and confident horse who loves the attention and affection from her humans. It is because of the time, energy, love, patience and training Horsetenders gives to the mustangs. The price that I paid for her was tiny compared to what had been invested in her in the two years she lived at Horsetenders. Thank you…
I have been a riding instructor and teacher for 20 plus years. I have worked with many green horses and countless trainers and instructors . But my experience with Chris has been life changing. Bridget’s progress has been a smooth steady progression from our first touch and haltering to leading her through farm and forest, trimming her feet , meeting her first chicken, hearing that bus rumble round the corner (and she stood quietly beside me!!)… to last week when she was saddled and sat upon.
Bridget was prepared. I realized we were both prepared and felt confident and joyful about what lay ahead. We have more to do but I KNOW I have a safe, sensible enthusiastic 5 year old mustang who loves life and people and knows how to behave like a lady!
I am now dreaming of adventures I never thought possible …I too have been coached and encouraged and grown in confidence. I have a relationship with my horse I didn’t realize was possible. And P.S. I am more effective in the class room as well!
Thank you Chris
Thank you so much for working with Perla and me. She is working out great. Kris taught me many good habits that I use every day. I’m also teaching them to my 9 year old daughter and she is having fun riding Perla as well. Perla has a great foundation from working with Kris and now that I have gotten to know her better, she will make an excellent trail horse, just like Kris said. I’m taking Kris’ advice and keeping it to a walk and it is working perfectly. Working with Kris and Stephanie was a wonderful opportunity to learn more about my horse and your lovely mustangs. It was a great experience.
