Initial Taming Steps

Ahead of everything else, the first step is to set up an exercise for your Mustang to choose to approach you.   Whether your Mustang has been handled many times previously or is unfamiliar with humans, introduce yourself into their enclosure with an attitude of humility and positive energy.  Leave any fears or uncertainty outside.

Choose a comfortable place where you can remain comfortable yourself.  Enter with just a handful of hay or the bucket of their favorite food.  A small chair or stool helps humans relax and let this exercise work its magic.

This takes as long as it takes, depending on the horse.

“I do not look into their eye with my predator eye. when I’m either sitting in a chair, walking, or standing still, I have my head down my shoulders are slumped in a non-threatening manner.”
