Our trainer will work with each Veteran and teach them the gentling process where the mustang will go from “wild to mild” and become an adoptable equine partner. The Veteran will learn marketable vocational skills along with receiving on the job training for a future occupation in the equine industry if they so choose. Additionally, the Veterans will learn all about horses, from conformation to equine body parts to health concerns. and more.
